Abstract

In this article, using coordinate transformation and Gronwall inequality, we study the vortex motion law of the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau equation in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset{\bf R}^2$, that is, $ {\partial_tu_\varepsilon=\sum\limits_{j,k=1}^2(a_{jk}\partial_{x_k}u_\varepsilon)_{x_j}+\frac{b(x)(1-| u_\varepsilon| ^2)u_\varepsilon}{\varepsilon^2},x\in\Omega}$, and conclude that each vortex $ {b_j(t)~(j=1,2,\cdots ,N)}$ satisfies $ \frac{{\rm d}b_j(t)}{{\rm d}t}=-\big(\frac{a_{1k}(b_j(t))\partial_{x_k}a(b_j(t))}{a(b_j(t))},$ $ \frac{a_{2k}(b_j(t))\partial_{x_k}a(b_j(t))}{a(b_j(t))}\big),$ where $ {a(x)=\sqrt{a_{11}a_{22}-a_{12}^2}}$. We prove that all the vortices are pinned together to the critical points of $a(x)$. Furthermore, we prove that these critical points can not be the maximum points.
