Optimizing ferromagnetic characteristics to reduce Newton iterations. Pahner, U., Belmans, R., & Hameyer, K. COMPEL: The International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 18(4):629–637, 1999.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
The standard Newton iteration scheme to solve a non-linear system of equations obtained from the finite element methods is based on the updating of the field dependent element reluctivity. Usually, the manufacturer of the ferromagnetic material provides a BH-characteristic as diagram or in the form of a table of data samples. The influence of the material properties, in particular their accurate numerical representation, is significant for the rate of convergence during the Newton iterations. Here, a numerical optimization aiming at a technically smooth non-linear characteristic is performed to obtain a higher rate of convergence of the Newton iteration scheme.
