Abstract

In this paper we study the problem concerning stability and asymptotic behaviours of solutions for a degenerate Landau–Lifshitz equation in micromagnetics involving only the non-local magnetostatic energy. Due to the lack of derivative estimates, we do not have the compactness needed for strong convergence and the natural convergence is weak* convergence. By formulating the problem in a new framework of differential inclusions, we show that the Cauchy problems for such an equation are not stable under the weak* convergence of initial data. For the asymptotic behaviours of weak solutions, we establish an estimate on the weak* ω-limit sets that is valid for all initial data satisfying the saturation condition.
