This work addresses the computational challenge of simulating multiscale magnetic systems with complex microstructures, offering a practical coarse-scale approximation.

The paper develops a numerical homogenization method for the Landau-Lifshitz equation with rough coefficients, achieving significant computational savings while maintaining accuracy through localized basis functions.

In this work, we develop a numerical homogenization approach for the fully nonlinear Landau-Lifshitz equation with rough coefficients, including non-periodicity and nonseparable scales. Direct numerical resolution of such multiscale problems on fine meshes incurs prohibitive computational costs. To address this challenge, we propose an efficient coarse scale approximation through localized basis functions derived from energy minimization within the Generalized Rough Polyharmonic Splines (GRPS) framework. These basis functions preserve critical multiscale features while operating on a computationally tractable coarse mesh. The nonlinear, vectorial, and non-symmetric nature of the Landau-Lifshitz equation necessitates careful design of variational formulations for basis construction. We introduce several such formulations, each tailored to specific structural aspects of the problem. Through systematic numerical experiments, we demonstrate that our approach achieves significant computational savings without compromising accuracy, offering a robust framework for simulating multiscale magnetic systems with complex microstructures.
