"Convergent tangent plane integrators for the simulation of chiral magnetic skyrmion dynamics";
Advances in Computational Mathematics, 45 (2019), 3; 1329 - 1368.



English abstract:
We consider the numerical approximation of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equa-tion, which describes the dynamics of the magnetization in ferromagnetic materials. In addi-tion to the classical micromagnetic contributions, the energy comprises the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, which is the most important ingredient for the enucleation and the stabilization of chiral magnetic skyrmions. We propose and analyze three tangent plane integrators, for which we prove (unconditional) convergence of the finite element solutions towards a weak solution of the problem. The analysis is constructive and also establishes existence of weak solutions. Numerical experiments demonstrate the applicability of the methods for the simulation of practically relevant problem sizes.
