Linear and nonlinear aspects of vortices : the Ginzburg-Landau model /

Equations of the Ginzburg-Landau vortices have particular applications to a number of problems in physics, including phase transition phenomena in superconductors, superfluids, and liquid crystals. Building on the results presented by Bethuel, Brazis, and Helein, this current work further analyzes G...
