We study solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation -\Delta u+\frac{1}{\ve^2}u(|u|^2-1)=0 subject to "semi-stiff" boundary conditions: the Dirichlet condition for the modulus, |u|=1, and the homogeneous Neumann condition for the phase.…
In this paper we study the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations on a smooth, bounded domain $\Omega \subset \Rn{2}$, subject to an electrical current applied on the boundary. The dynamics with an applied current are non-dissipative, but…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For $\epsilon>0$ small, we construct non-constant solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau equations $-\Delta u=\frac{1}{\epsilon^2}(1-|u|^2)u$ in $\Omega$ such that on $\partial \Omega$ u…
The recent discovery that some of the coefficients of the viscosity tensor are negative is shown to invalidate the hydrodynamic approach to the vortex liquid phase of a type-II superconductor. A satisfactory theory requires retention of all…
Since the Ginzburg-Landau theory is concerned with macroscopic phenomena, and gravity affects how objects interact at the macroscopic level. It becomes relevant to study the Ginzburg-Landau theory in curved space, that is, in the presence…
