Abstract
Magnetic domain patterns under an oscillating field are studied theoretically by using a simple Ising-like model. We propose two ways to investigate the effects of the oscillating field. The first one leads to a model in which rapidly oscillating terms are averaged out and the model can explain the existence of the maximum amplitude of the field for the appearance of patterns. The second one leads to a model that includes the delay of the response to the field and the model suggests the existence of a traveling pattern which moves very slowly compared with the time scale of the driving field.
