Abstract: We develop a new method for obtaining the BPS equations of static vortices motivated by the results of the extit{On-Shell} method on the standard Maxwell-Higgs model and its Born-Infeld-Higgs model~cite{Atmaja:2014fha}. Our method relies on the existence of what we shall call an energy function, $Q$, which is a mere function of the (effective) fields. The total energy of BPS vortices, $E_{BPS}$, are simply given by a difference between the boundaries value of $Q$ at $roinfty$ and at $r=0$, $E_{BPS}=Q(roinfty)-Q(r=0)$. Imposing a condition that these (effective) fields are independent, we may define a BPS Lagrangian, $mathcal{L}_{BPS}$, derived by taking integral of differential $Q$, $mathcal{L}_{BPS}=-intdQ$. Matching the Lagrangian $mathcal{L}_{BPS}$ with the corresponding effective Lagrangian, we can extract several equations. Solving these equations yields the desired BPS equations and, in some cases, also constraint equations. With our method, the various known BPS equations of vortices are derived in a relatively simple procedure.
