چکیده
We describe a Sobolev gradient method for finding minima of the Ginzburg–Landau functional for superconductivity. This method leads to a particularly simple algorithm which avoids consideration of the nonlinear boundary conditions associated with the Ginzburg–Landau equations.

Energy minimization using Sobolev gradients: application to phase separation and ordering
A common problem in physics and engineering is the calculation of the minima of energy functionals. The theory of Sobolev gradients provides an efficient method for seeking the critical points of such a functional. We apply the method to functionals describing coarse-grained Ginzburg-Landau models commonly used in pattern formation and ordering processes.
متن کاملMinimization of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional by a Sobolev gradient trust-region method
We describe a generalized Levenberg-Marquardt method for computing critical points of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional which models superconductivity. The algorithm is a blend of a Newton iteration with a Sobolev gradient descent method, and is equivalent to a trust-region method in which the trustregion radius is defined by a Sobolev metric. Numerical test results demonstrate the method t...

متن کاملPartial Sobolev spaces and anisotropic smectic liquid crystals
The partial Sobolev spaces with respect to a vector field are introduced, and are used to studyminimization problems of the functionals which are degenerate in the sense that they do not have control on either the tangential part or the perpendicular part of the magnetic gradients. Based on these results we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the minimizers of the anisotropic Landau-de Gennes fun...
