Numerical analysis of the A -Formulation of Maxwell variational inequality
Feifei Jing, Xiaodi Zhang, Weiying Zheng
Source abstract
In this work, we explore a Maxwell variational inequality arising from Bean’s critical-state model in type-II superconductivity. Instead of the coupled electric and magnetic fields, we study an equivalent model based on the magnetic vector potential. The well-posedness of this transformed Maxwell variational inequality comes naturally from the hyperbolic Maxwell (quasi-)variational inequality arguments. We establish error estimates for both the spatially semi-discrete scheme and the fully discrete scheme. We propose two kinds of methods, the projection method and the regularization method, to solve the variational inequality problem. Two numerical experiments are reported to verify the theories and to investigate the physics of type-II superconductivity.
