Numerical Methods for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert Equation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3401))

Abstract

In this paper we give an overview of the numerical methods for the solution of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. We discuss advantages of the presented methods and perform numerical experiments to demonstrate their performance. We also discuss the coupling with Maxwell’s equations.
