The levitation force and the stable equilibrium between a permanent ma
gnet and a high T-c superconductor are analysed numerically under the
assumption of a frozen field. The constitutive relation of a frozen fi
eld model is discussed to clarify the differences between it and the c
ritical state model. The vertical levitation force and the horizontal
restoring force are evaluated using the frozen field model, and the nu
merical solutions agrees well with experimental results.
