Abstract: A formula for the magnetostatic energy of a finite magnet is proven. In contrast to common approaches, the new energy identity does not rely on evaluation of a nonlocal boundary integral inside the magnet or the solution of an equivalent Dirichlet problem. The formula is therefore computationally efficient, which is also shown numerically. Algorithms for the simulation of magnetic materials could benefit from incorporating the presented representation of the energy. In addition, a natural analogue for the energy via the magnetic induction is given. Proofs are carried out within a setting which is suitable for common discretizations in computational micromagnetics.

Review text

The main result of this paper establishes a formula for the magnetostatic energy of a finite magnet. This energy formula has an analogue via the magnetic induction. This formula is also numerically validated in the framework of the stray field energy. The computation of the energy in the abstract setting of this paper only requires the solution of a Dirichlet problem and the evaluation of the single layer potential on the boundary. This setting was chosen to be suitable for common discretizations in numerical micromagnetics. Numerical results demonstrate that the presented formulation leads to a properly calculated magnetostatic energy.
