Dynamics for vortices of an evolutionary Ginzburg-Landau equations in 3 dimensions. (Q1600023)

The author deals with the following problem: \[ \begin{cases} \frac{\partial u_\varepsilon}{\partial t}= \Delta u_\varepsilon+ \frac{u_\varepsilon}{\varepsilon^2} \big(\beta^2(x)-|u_\varepsilon|^2\big) &\text{in }Q\times\mathbb R_+,\\ u_\varepsilon(x,0)= \beta\cdot u_\varepsilon^0(x), &x\in Q,\\ u_\varepsilon(x,t)= \beta\cdot g(x), &x\in\Sigma,\;t\geq 0,\\ \frac{\partial u_\varepsilon}{\partial z}=0 &\text{for }z=0,\ell, \end{cases} \tag{1} \] where \(Q=\Omega\times [0,\ell]\), \(\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2\) is a bounded smooth domain, \(\Sigma=\partial\Omega\times [0,\ell]\). The aim of this article is to understand the dynamic of vortices, or zeros, of solutions \(u\) of (1). The author shows that the motion of the Ginzburg-Landau vortex curves is the flow by its curvature.
