Analysis of a quasilinear coupled magneto-quasistatic model: solvability and regularity of solutions

We consider a~quasilinear model arising from dynamical magnetization. This model is described by a~magneto-quasistatic (MQS) approximation of Maxwell's equations. Assuming that the medium consists of a~conducting and a~non-conducting part, the derivative with respect to time is not fully entering, whence the system can be described by an abstract differential-algebraic equation. Furthermore, via magnetic induction, the system is coupled with an equation which contains the induced electrical currents along the associated voltages, which form the input of the system. The aim of this paper is to study well-posedness of the coupled MQS system and regularity of its solutions. Thereby, we rely on the classical theory of gradient systems on Hilbert spaces combined with the concept of $\mathcal{E}$-subgradients using in particular the magnetic energy. The coupled MQS system precisely fits into this general framework.
