In this rather technical paper, the self-similar solutions \(u(x,t)= t^{-1/\alpha}u(x/\sqrt{t},1)\) of the complex Landau-Ginzburg equation \[ u_t- \varepsilon\Delta u- i\Delta u+ (a+ ib)| u|^\alpha u= 0\quad (\varepsilon>0;\, a,b\in\mathbb{R};\, t\in\mathbb{R}_+) \] are investigated together with the behaviour with respect to the parameters when \(\varepsilon\to 0\) or \(\varepsilon\to 0\) and \(a\to 0\). The author proves the existence of such self-similar solutions and thoroughly analyzes the convergence in certain Besove spaces to the solution of the limit equations \[ v_t- i\Delta v+ (a+ ib)| v|^\alpha v=0,\quad v_t- i\Delta v+ ib| v|^\alpha v= 0. \]
