A third-order accurate implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta time marching numerical scheme is proposed and implemented for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, which models magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic materials, with arbitrary damping parameters. This method has three remarkable advantages: (1) only
a linear system with constant coefficients needs to be solved at each Runge-Kutta
stage, which greatly reduces the time cost and improves the efficiency; (2) the optimal rate convergence analysis does not impose any restriction on the magnitude
of damping parameter, which is consistent with the third-order accuracy in time for
1-D and 3-D numerical examples; (3) its unconditional stability with respect to the
damping parameter has been verified by a detailed numerical study. In comparison
with many existing methods, the proposed method indicates a better performance
on accuracy and efficiency, and thus provides a better option for micromagnetics
simulations.
