Study Notes

  • Note on Linear System Solver:In general, we can model a PDE problem and then discretize it into a linear/nonlinear system to be solved. Here, we will focus on the solver to the linear system of equations that has a sparse structure. If not sparse systems, say dense matrix. we can recall the BLAS, Lapack or ScaLapack. Here we take the Landau-Lifshitz equation as an application example and study its linear system of equation for the discrete equation.

  • Note on Ubermag Tutorial: Ubermag is a python package for micromagnetics.

  • Note on OOMMF Tutorial: OOMMF is a package for micromagnetics.
