In the past decade, the mathematics of superconductivity has been the subject of intense study. This book examines in detail the nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau (GL) functional, the model most commonly used. Specifically, cases in the presence of a strong magnetic field and with a sufficiently large GL parameter kappa are covered.
Key topics and features:
*Provides a concrete introduction to techniques in spectral theory and PDEs
*Offers a complete analysis of the two-dimensional GL-functional with large kappa in the presence of a magnetic field
