H. Brezis et P. Mironescu, ON A CONJECTURE OF DEGIORGI,E. CONCERNING THE GINZBURG-LANDAU ENERGY, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 1, Mathematique, 319(2), 1994, pp. 167-170
We consider a family (u(epsilon)) of minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau
energy corresponding to boundary conditions g(epsilon). We assume tha
t E(epsilon) (u(epsilon)) less-than-or-equal-to C1 \log epsilon\ + C2
as epsilon --> 0. We prove that (u(epsilon)) may have an oscillatory b
ehavior and, in particular, (u(epsilon)) need not converge a.e. This a
nswers negatively a question raised by E. De Giorgi.
