Stabilization methods in relaxed micromagnetism
The magnetization of a ferromagnetic sample solves a non-convex variational problem, where its relaxation by convexifying the energy density resolves relevant macroscopic information. The numerical analysis of the relaxed model has to deal with a constrained convex but degenerated, nonlocal energy functional in mixed formulation for magnetic potential and magnetization . In [C. Carstensen and A. Prohl, Numer. Math. 90 (2001) 65–99], the conforming -element in spatial dimensions is shown to...
