Abstract
A generalized, non-axisymmetric decentred dipole model is proposed to explain asymmetric magnetic variations and phase shifts between the respective extrema of effective field and surface field of magnetic stars. Detailed models are derived for two stars and it is shown that the model can reproduce the observed magnetic variations of all well-known magnetic stars but one.Keywords
