We prove a global well-posedness result for the Landau-Lifshitz equation with Gilbert damping provided that the BMO semi-norm of the initial data is small. As a consequence, we deduce the existence of self-similar solutions in any dimension. In the one-dimensional case, we characterize the self-similar solutions associated with an initial data given by some ($\mathbb{S}^2$-valued) step function and establish their stability. We also show the existence of multiple solutions if the damping is strong enough. Our arguments rely on the study of a dissipative quasilinear Schrödinger obtained via the stereographic projection and techniques introduced by Koch and Tataru.
We prove that in dimensions three and higher the Landau-Lifshitz- Gilbert equation with small initial data in the critical Besov space is globally wellposed in a uniform way with respect to the Gilbert damping parameter. Then we show that the global solution converges to that of the Schrodinger maps in the natural space as the Gilbert damping term vanishes. The proof is based on some studies on the derivative Ginzburg-Landau equations.
We establish the global well-posedness of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in $\mathbb R^n$ for any initial data ${\bf m}_0\in H^1_*(\mathbb R^n,\mathbb S^2)$ whose gradient belongs to the Morrey space $M^{2,2}(\mathbb R^n)$ with small norm $\displaystyle\|\nabla {\bf m}_0\|_{M^{2,2}(\mathbb R^n)}$. The method is based on priori estimates of a dissipative Schrödinger equation of Ginzburg-Landau types obtained from the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation by the moving frame technique.
The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation perturbed by a multiplicative space-dependent noise is considered for a ferromagnet filling a bounded three-dimensional domain. We show the existence of weak martingale solutions taking values in a sphere $\mathbb S^2$. The regularity of weak solutions is also discussed. Some of the regularity results are new even for the deterministic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.
We prove existence, uniqueness and asymptotics of global smooth solutions for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in dimension $n \ge 3$, valid under a smallness condition of initial gradients in the $L^n$ norm. The argument is based on the method of moving frames that produces a covariant complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, and a priori estimates that we obtain by the method of weighted-in-time norms as introduced by Fujita and Kato.
We examine a stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation based on an exchange energy functional containing second-order derivatives of the unknown field. Such regularizations are featured in advanced micromagnetic models recently introduced in connection with nanoscale topological solitons. We show that, in contrast to the classical stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation based on the Dirichlet energy alone, the regularized equation is solvable in the stochastically strong sense. As a consequence it preserves the topology of the initial data, almost surely.
We show that Hashimoto transformation is applicable to the one dimensional stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation and transforms it to the stochastic generalized heat equation with nonlocal (in space) interaction.
We consider an asymptotic regime for two-dimensional ferromagnetic films that is consistent with the formation of transition layers (Néel walls). We first establish compactness of S2-valued magnetizations in the energetic regime of Néel walls and characterize the set of accumulation points. We then prove that Néel walls are asymptotically the unique energy minimizing configurations. We finally study the corresponding dynamical issues, namely the compactness properties of the magnetizations under the flow of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.
Ferromagnetic materials tend to develop very complex magnetization patterns whose time evolution is modeled by the so-called Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG). In this paper, we construct time-periodic solutions for LLG in the regime of soft and small ferromagnetic particles which satisfy a certain shape condition. Roughly speaking, it is assumed that the length of the particle is greater than its hight and its width. The approach is based on a perturbation argument and the spectral analysis of the corresponding linearized problem as well as the theory of sectorial operators.
Motivated by recent models of current driven magnetization dynamics, we examine the coupling of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and classical electron transport governed by the Vlasov-Maxwell system. The interaction is based on space-time gyro-coupling in the form of emergent electromagnetic fields of quantized helicity that add up to the conventional Maxwell fields. We construct global weak solutions of the coupled system in the framework of frustrated magnets with competing first and second order gradient interactions known to host topological solitons such as magnetic skyrmions and hop…
We establish a framework to construct a global solution in the space of finite energy to a general form of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Our characterization yields a partially regular solution, smooth away from a 2-dimensional locally finite Hausdorff measure set. This construction relies on approximation by discretization, using the special geometry to express an equivalent system whose highest order terms are linear and the translation of the machinery of linear estimates on the fundamental solution from the continuous setting into the discrete setting. This method…
The main purpose of this paper is the analytical study of self-shrinker solutions of the one-dimensional Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG), a model describing the dynamics for the spin in ferromagnetic materials. We show that there is a unique smooth family of backward self-similar solutions to the LLG equation, up to symmetries, and we establish their asymptotics. Moreover, we obtain that in the presence of damping, the trajectories of the self-similar profiles converge to great circles on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$, at an exponential rate. In particular, the results presented in this pap…
Following the ideas of V. V. Zhikov and A. L. Pyatnitski, and more precisely the stochastic two-scale convergence, this paper establishes a homogenization theorem in a stochastic setting for two nonlinear equations : the equation of harmonic maps into the sphere and the Landau-Lifschitz equation. These equations have strong nonlinear features, in particular, in general their solutions are not unique.
We consider the one-dimensional Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation, a model describing the dynamics for the spin in ferromagnetic materials. Our main aim is the analytical study of the bi-parametric family of self-similar solutions of this model. In the presence of damping, our construction provides a family of global solutions of the LLG equation which are associated to a discontinuous initial data of infinite (total) energy, and which are smooth and have finite energy for all positive times. Special emphasis will be given to the behaviour of this family of solutions with respect to the G…
The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski equation describes magnetization dynamics in the presence of an applied field and a spin polarized current. In the case of axial symmetry and with focus on one space dimension, we investigate the emergence of space-time patterns in the form of wavetrains and coherent structures, whose local wavenumber varies in space. A major part of this study concerns existence and stability of wavetrains and of front- and domain wall-type coherent structures whose profiles asymptote to wavetrains or the constant up-/down-magnetizations. For certain polarization the Sl…
We consider the time-dependent Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. We prove that each weak solution coincides with the (unique) strong solution, as long as the latter exists in time. Unlike available results in the literature, our analysis also includes the physically relevant lower-order terms like Zeeman contribution, anisotropy, stray field, and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (which accounts for the emergence of magnetic Skyrmions). Moreover, our proof gives a template on how to approach weak-strong uniqueness for even more complicated problems, where LLG is (nonlinearly) coupled to ot…
The full Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with periodic material coefficients and natural boundary condition is employed to model the magnetization dynamics in composite ferromagnets. In this work, we establish the convergence between the homogenized solution and the original solution via a Lax equivalence theorem kind of argument. There are a few technical difficulties, including: 1) it is proven the classic choice of corrector to homogenization cannot provide the convergence result in the $H^1$ norm; 2) a boundary layer is induced due to the natural boundary condition; 3) the presence of str…
Using a rough path formulation, we investigate existence, uniqueness and regularity for the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with Stratonovich noise on the one dimensional torus. As a main result we show the continuity of the so-called Itô-Lyons map in the energy spaces $L^\infty(0,T;H^k)\cap L^2(0,T;H^{k+1})$ for any $k\ge1$. The proof proceeds in two steps. First, based on an energy estimate in the aforementioned space together with a compactness argument we prove existence of a unique solution, implying the continuous dependence in a weaker norm. This is then strengthened in the …
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a tracer-based technique for medical imaging where the tracer consists of ironoxide nanoparticles. The key idea is to measure the particle response to a temporally changing external magnetic field to compute the spatial concentration of the tracer inside the object. A decent mathematical model demands for a data-driven computation of the system function which does not only describe the measurement geometry but also encodes the interaction of the particles with the external magnetic field. The physical model of this interaction is given by the Landau-Lifshitz-…

In this paper we use formal asymptotic arguments to understand the stability proper- ties of equivariant solutions to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert model for ferromagnets. We also analyze both the harmonic map heatflow and Schrodinger map flow limit cases. All asymptotic results are verified by detailed numerical experiments, as well as a robust topological argument. The key result of this paper is that blowup solutions to these problems are co-dimension one and hence both unstable and non-generic. Solutions permitted to deviate from radial symmetry remain global for all time but may, for suitab…
In this paper, we provide a precise description of the compatibility conditions for the initial data so that one can show the existence and uniqueness of regular short-time solution to the Neumann initial-boundary problem of a class of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert system with spin-polarized transport, which is a strong nonlinear coupled parabolic system with non-local energy.
We study the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the dynamics of a magnetic vortex system. We present a PDE-based method for proving vortex dynamics that does not rely on strong well-preparedness of the initial data and allows for instantaneous changes in the strength of the gyrovector force due to bubbling events. The main tools are estimates of the Hodge decomposition of the supercurrent and an analysis of the defect measure of weak convergence of the stress energy tensor. Ginzburg-Landau equations with mixed dynamics in the presence of excess energy are also discussed.
We investigate the abstract Cauchy problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation in a Banach space of the form \( du_t -L_t(u_t)u_t dt = N_t(u_t)dt + F(u_t)\cdot d\mathbf X_t \), where \( \mathbf X\) is a \( γ\)-Hölder rough path for \( γ\in(1/3,1/2)\). We explore the mild formulation that combines functional analysis techniques and controlled rough paths theory which entail the local well-posedness of such equations. We apply our results to the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert and Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto equation. In this framework we obtain a random dynamical system associated to the La…
The existence of global weak solutions to a coupled spin drift-diffusion and Maxwell-Landau-Lifshitz system is proved. The equations are considered in a two-dimensional magnetic layer structure and are supplemented with Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. The spin drift-diffusion model for the charge density and spin density vector is the diffusion limit of a spinorial Boltzmann equation for a vanishing spin polarization constant. The Maxwell-Landau-Lifshitz system consists of the time-dependent Maxwell equations for the electric and magnetic fields and of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equati…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviors of finite energy solutions to the Landau-Lifshitz flows from $\Bbb R^2$ into Kähler manifolds. First, we prove that the solution with initial data below the critical energy converges to a constant map in the energy space as $t\to \infty$ for the compact Riemannian surface targets. In particular, when the target is a two dimensional sphere, we prove that the solution to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with initial data having an energy below $4π$ converges to some constant map in the energy space. Second, for general compact Kähler manifolds…
We give a survey on some recent results concerning the Landau-Lifshitz equation, a fundamental nonlinear PDE with a strong geometric content, describing the dynamics of the magnetization in ferromagnetic materials. We revisit the Cauchy problem for the anisotropic Landau-Lifshitz equation, without dissipation, for smooth solutions, and also in the energy space in dimension one. We also examine two approximations of the Landau-Lifshitz equation given by of the Sine-Gordon equation and cubic Schrödinger equations, arising in certain singular limits of strong easy-plane and easy-axis anisotropy, …
We prove that the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in three space dimensions with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions admits arbitrarily smooth solutions, given that the initial data is sufficiently close to a constant function.
In this paper, we consider spin-diffusion Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations (SDLLG), which consist of the time-dependent Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation coupled with a time-dependent diffusion equation for the electron spin accumulation. The model takes into account the diffusion process of the spin accumulation in the magnetization dynamics of ferromagnetic multilayers. We prove that in the limit of long times, the system reduces to simpler equations in which the LLG equation is coupled to a nonlinear and nonlocal steady-state equation, referred to as SLLG. As a by-product, the existen…
We address the question of global in time existence of solutions to a magnetoviscoelastic system with general initial data. We show that the notion of dissipative solutions allows to prove such an existence in two and three dimensions. This extends an earlier result for the viscoelastic subsystem to the setting which includes the magnetization vector and its evolution in terms of a Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.
