Local dissipativity and attractors for the evolutionary superconductivity problem (Q5946537)

The following evolutionary superconductivity problem (called the Ginzburg-Landau model) \[ \psi_t+ i\varphi\psi- (\nabla- i{\mathbf A})^2\psi+ \tfrac{k}{4} (|\psi|^2- 1)\psi= 0,\tag{1} \] \[ {\mathbf A}_{tt}+ {\mathbf A}_t+ \nabla (\varphi+\varphi_t)+ \text{curl}^2 {\mathbf A}+|\psi|^2{\mathbf A}+ \tfrac{i}{2} (\overline{\psi} \nabla \psi-\psi\nabla \overline{\psi})= 0, \tag{2} \] \(x\in \Omega\), \(t>0\), where \(k> 0\) is a constant, \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2\) is a bounded, smooth and simple-connected region, and \(\psi\) is a complex-valued function, the order parameter, \({\mathbf A}\) is a vector-valued function, the magnetic potential, \(\varphi\) is a scalar-valued function, the electric potential, with Lorentz gauge: \[ \varphi=- \operatorname {div}{\mathbf A}, \tag{3} \] boundary conditions: \[ {\mathbf A}\cdot {\mathbf n}=0, \quad \operatorname {curl}{\mathbf A}\times {\mathbf n}=0, \quad (\nabla -i{\mathbf A})\psi\cdot{\mathbf n}= 0, \quad\text{on }\partial\Omega, \tag{4} \] and initial condition: \[ (\psi,{\mathbf A},{\mathbf A}_t)|_{t=0}= (\psi_0,{\mathbf A}_0,{\mathbf A}_1) \tag{5} \] is considered. The global existence, local dissipativity and attractors of this problem are obtained. The a priori estimate method is used to obtain the global existence of the solution of problem (1)--(5), local dissipativity and attractors of this problem under the assumption of \(|\psi_0|\leq 1\).
