Abstract :
A model for magnetic hysteresis is described in which the applied field intensity is free to rotate as well as vary in magnitude. The model is an infinite lattice of ellipsoidal Stoner-Wolfarth particles with

independent and not necessarily identical particles per unit cell. Techniques for making this simple yet very general model computationally tractable are described. The model is intended primarily for studying the magnetic recording process in particulate storage media.
