Bulk superconductivity in type II superconductors near the second critical field (Q967464)

This paper deals with the qualitative analysis of the Ginzburg-Landau functional with large parameter and magnetic potential. The parameter region is assumed to be close to but below the second critical field. The main result of the present paper establishes a \(L^\infty\) estimate of the order parameter in the bulk, that is, away from the boundary. The proof combines uniform elliptic estimates with related variational arguments.
