Abstract

We propose a finite element method for approximating the nonlinear equations describing the electromagnetic field in a ferromagnetic material. Using energy arguments, we prove an optimal convergence rate for the method assuming a sufficiently smooth electromagnetic field. We also verify that the finite element solution satisfies various conservation conditions appropriate to the continuous problem. Finally, we provide some numerical examples.
