The time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation in fractal space-time

We use the hydrodynamic formulation of Scale Relativity Theory to analyze the TDGL equation. As a result, London equations come naturally from the system, when equating to zero the real velocity, the imaginary one turns real, the superconducting fluid act as a subquantum medium energy accumulator, the vector potential, the real and the imaginary velocity are all written in terms of the elliptic function. When solving the resulted system by means of WKBJ method, we get tunneling and quantization. In other words, scale transformation laws produce, on the motion equation of particles governed by the TDGL equation, under some peculiar assumptions, effects which are analogous to those of a “macroscopic quantum mechanics”.     

Energy Estimate for the Type-Ⅱ Superconducting Film

We study the minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau model for variable thickness, superconducting, thin films with high k, placed in an applied magnetic field hex, when hex is of the order of the ＂first critical field＂, i.e. of the order of ｜lnε｜. We obtain the asymptotic estimates of minimal energy and describe the possible locations of the vortices.     

Approximations of a Ginzburg-Landau model for superconducting hollow spheres based on spherical centroidal Voronoi tessellations

In this paper the numerical approximations of the Ginzburg- Landau model for a superconducting hollow spheres are constructed using a gauge invariant discretization on spherical centroidal Voronoi tessellations. A reduced model equation is used on the surface of the sphere which is valid in the thin spherical shell limit. We present the numerical algorithms and their theoretical convergence as well as interesting numerical results on the vortex configurations. Properties of the spherical centroidal Voronoi tessellations are also utilized to provide a high resolution scheme for computing the supercurrent and the induced magnetic field.

     

Scattering of vortices in the Abelian Higgs model

We study the scattering of vortices in the Abelian (2+1)-dimensional Higgs model. We show that in the case of the symmetric head-on collision of N vortices, their trajectories are rotated by the angle π/N after the collision. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 156, No. 1, pp. 77–91, July, 2008.

Generalized spatiotemporal chaos synchronization of the Ginzburg-Landau equation

In this paper, the generalized synchronization of two unidirectionally coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations is studied theoretically. It is demonstrated that the drive-response system has bounded attraction domain and compact attractors. It is derived that the correction equation has asymptotically stable zero solutions under certain conditions and that the sufficient conditions for smooth generalized synchronization and Hölder continuous generalized synchronization exist in the coupling system. Numerical result analysis shows the correctness of theory.     

Maximizing critical currents in superconductors by optimization of normal inclusion properties

The movement of vortices in superconductors due to an applied current can induce a loss of perfect conductivity. Experimental observations show that material impurities can effectively prevent vortices from moving. In this paper, we provide numerical studies to investigate vortex pinning and critical currents through the use of an optimal control approach applied to a variant of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model that can account for normal inclusions. The effects that the size and boundary of the sample and the number, size, shape, orientation, and location of the inclusion sites have on the critical current and vortex lattices are studied. In particular, the optimal control approach is used to determine the optimal properties of the impurities so as to maximize the critical current, i.e., the largest current that can pass through a superconductor without resistance.     

Time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation in a car-following model considering the driver’s physical delay

In this paper, an extended car-following model considering the delay of the driver’s response in sensing headway is proposed to describe the traffic jam. It is shown that the stability region decreases when the driver’s physical delay in sensing headway increases. The phase transition among the freely moving phase, the coexisting phase, and the uniformly congested phase occurs below the critical point. By applying the reductive perturbation method, we get the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation from the car-following model to describe the transition and critical phenomenon in traffic flow. We show the connection between the TDGL equation and the mKdV equation describing the traffic jam.     

A Taylor expansion approach for solving partial differential equations with random Neumann boundary conditions

Nonlinear partial differential equation with random Neumann boundary conditions are considered. A stochastic Taylor expansion method is derived to simulate these stochastic systems numerically. As examples, a nonlinear parabolic equation (the real Ginzburg-Landau equation) and a nonlinear hyperbolic equation (the sine-Gordon equation) with random Neumann boundary conditions are solved numerically using a stochastic Taylor expansion method. The impact of boundary noise on the system evolution is also discussed.
