A finite element approximation for the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (Q890183)

This is a very interesting and innovating work which combines strong theoretical results for an important problem from stochastic PDEs, proven in this paper, and numerical analysis. More specifically, the authors consider the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation of ferromagnetism in dimensions \(2\) and \(3\). This equation is transformed, and the resulting problem admits solutions which are differentiable in time. Existence of weak martingale solutions is then established. A \(\theta\) -linear finite element scheme, initially introduced for the deterministic version of the problem, is efficiently applied for the numerical approximation of the transformed stochastic PDE, due to the smoothness of solutions in time. Convergence of numerical solution is proven, and confirmed by numerical experiments.
