Lagrangian relaxation schemes for calculating force-free magnetic fields, and their limitations
D. I. Pontin, G. Hornig, A. L. Wilmot-Smith +1
Force-free magnetic fields are important in many astrophysical settings. Determining the properties of such force-free fields -- especially smoothness and stability properties -- i…
