Ginzburg-Landau Phase Transition Theory and Superconductivity

The theory of complex Ginzburg-Landau type phase transition and its applica­ tions to superconductivity and superfluidity has been a topic of great interest to theoretical physicists and has been continuously and persistently studied since the 1950s. Today, there is an abundance of mathematical results spread over numer­ ous scientific journals. However, before 1992, most of the studies concentrat...
