C. Lefter et Vd. Radulescu, ON THE GINZBURG-LANDAU ENERGY WITH WEIGHT, Annales de l Institut Henri Poincare. Analyse non lineaire, 13(2), 1996, pp. 171-184
This paper gives a solution to an open problem raised by Bethuel, Brez
is and Helein. We study the Ginzburg-Landau energy with weight. We fin
d the expression of the renormalized energy and we show that the finit
e configuration of singularities of the limit is a minimum point of th
is functional. We find a vanishing gradient type property and then we
obtain the renormalized energy by Bethuel, Brezis and Helein's shrinki
ng holes method.
