For \(n\geq 2\), \(B=\{x\in \mathbb R^n\mid | x| <1\}\), the minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau type functional \(E_\varepsilon(u,B)=E^0_\varepsilon(u,B)\), where \[ E^\tau_{\varepsilon}(u,B)={1\over p} \int_B (| \nabla u| ^2+\tau)^{p/2}+{1\over 4\varepsilon^p} \int_B(1-| u| ^2)^2\,, \] are considered on the class of functions \[ W=\{u(x)=f(r) {x\over | x| }\in W^{1,p}(B,\mathbb R^n);\, f(1)=1,\,r=| x| \}\,. \] These minimizers \(u_\epsilon\) are called radial minimizers. The author proves the uniqueness of the regularizable radial minimizers (regularizable minimizers means minimizers of \(E_\varepsilon\) being limits in \(W^{1,p}(B,\mathbb R^n)\) of minimizers of \(E^\tau_\varepsilon\) as \(\tau\to 0\)) in the case \(n-1<p<n\), and studies the location of the zeros of these minimizers.
