The numerical solution of the second-order, elliptic, quasi-linear, partial differential equation arising in a two-dimensional magnetostatic-field problem, where the magnetic permeability varies with the field, is considered. A set of nonlinear difference equations approximating the original differential equation is derived, and in solving a test problem, the method of nonlinear successive overrelaxation compares favorably both to Newton's method and to a commonly used method based on a small-magnetic-field approximation. The first method, as here presented, could also be used to numerically solve similar equations, such as those for Plateau's problem or for irrotational compressible fluid flow.
