English abstract:
The nonlinear Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG) models the dynamics of the magnetization field in ferromagnetic materials. Numerical challenges arise from strong nonlinearities, a nonconvex pointwise constraint which enforces length preservation, and the possible nonlinear coupling to other PDEs. In our talk, we discuss numerical integrators based on lowest-order FEM in space that are proven to be unconditionally convergent towards a weak solution of the problem. Emphasis is put on an effective numerical treatment, where the time-marching schemes decouples the numerical integration of the LLG equation and the coupled equation.
