Abstract

We construct an upper bound for the following family of functionals {Eε}ε>0, which arises in the study of micromagnetics: Eε(u)=∫Ωε ∇u 2 + 1/ε ∫ℝ2 Hu 2. Here Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ2, u ∈ H1(Ω, S1) (corresponding to the magnetization) and Hu, the demagnetizing field created by u, is given by Formula is presented, where ũ is the extension of u by 0 in ℝ2\Ω. Our upper bound coincides with the lower bound obtained by Rivière and Serfaty.
