Abstract
Deals with convergence difficulties using Newton-Raphson method in nonlinear magnetostatic problems. It is shown use of magnetostatic scalar potential can lead to a very unstable iterative process because of the shape of the residual function which is to be cancelled. Such effects do not exist when the vector potential is used and Newton-Raphson method is much more efficient. A simple example points out the behavior of Newton-Raphson method for both formulations. A method for reducing the CPU time required for determining the relaxation factor used to insure convergence in the case of scalar potential is also presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
