contents The dynamic matrix method addresses the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation in the frequency domain by transforming it into an eigenproblem. Subsequent numerical solutions are derived from the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the dynamic matrix. In this work we explore discretization methods needed to obtain a matrix representation of the dynamic operator, a fundamental counterpart of the dynamic matrix. Our approach opens a new set of linear algebra tools for the dynamic matrix method and expose the approximations and limitations intrinsic to it. Moreover, our discretization algorithms can be applied to various discretization schemes, extending beyond micromagnetism problems. We present some application examples, including a technique to obtain the dynamic matrix directly from the magnetic free energy function of an ensemble of macrospins, and an algorithmic method to calculate numerical micromagnetic kernels, including plane wave kernels. We also show how to exploit symmetries and reduce the numerical size of micromagnetic dynamic-matrix problems by a change of basis. This procedure significantly reduces the size of the dynamic matrix by several orders of magnitude while maintaining high numerical precision. Additionally, we calculate analytical approximations for the dispersion relations in magnonic crystals. This work contributes to the understanding of the current magnetization dynamics methods, and could help the development and formulations of novel analytical and numerical methods for solving the LLG equation within the frequency domain.
