The Eddy Current-LLG Equations-Part I: FEM-BEM Coupling

We analyse a numerical method for the coupled system of the eddy current equations in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in a bounded domain. The unbounded domain is discretised by means of finite-element/boundary-element coupling. Even though the considered problem is strongly nonlinear, the numerical approach is constructed such that only two linear systems per time step have to be solved. In this first part of the paper, we prove unconditional weak convergence (of a subsequence) of the finite-element solutions towards a weak solution. A priori error estimates will be presented in the second part.
