English abstract:
Micromagnetic phenomena on a ferromagnetic sample are often described by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG) which is a nonlinear time-dependent partial differential equation. The sought magnetization is a three-dimensional vector field. From a mathematical point of view, the strong non-linearity of LLG, an (implicit) non-convex modulus constraint, and the non-uniqueness of solutions of LLG aggravate the development and thorough mathematical analysis of numerical integrators. The tangent plane scheme (a.k.a. projection scheme) and the midpoint scheme represent two FEM-based classes of convergent integrators with a rigorous mathematical analysis. We discuss recent developments and our contributions to the latter algorithms. In particular, this includes a convergent tangent plane integrator for the simulation of chiral magnetic skyrmion dynamics. Moreover, we present our open-source and user-friendly Python module commix (based on the FEM software package NGS/Py) for mathematically justified computational micromagntism.
