O. Bottauscio et al., THE TINNEY ALGORITHM AND FIXED-POINT TECHNIQUE FOR RAPID SOLUTION OF MAGNETIC NONLINEAR PROBLEMS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 160, 1996, pp. 94-95
The fixed point technique is combined with an optimal ordered factoriz
ation of the stiffness matrix for the finite element solution of nonli
near magnetic field problems. The efficiency of the method is compared
with the Newton-Raphson technique. In spite of the greater number of
iterations, the fixed point technique significantly reduces the comput
ational time.
