The main focus of study for this equation is the formation of vortices and their dynamics in the limit Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \epsilon \to 0} .
The Ginzburg-Landau theory is briefly surveyed on Wikipedia.
Perturbative Approach
The limit Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \epsilon\to 0} can be treated with the same methods given in Perturbation theory. To see this we note that an exact solution can be written as

where dot means derivation with respect ot Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \tau} . The leading order solution is easily written down as
Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u_0 = \sqrt{n_0(x)}e^{-i[n_0(x)-1]\tau} } .
With this expression we can write down the next order correction as

This set is easy to solve. The most important point to notice is the limit surface Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n_0(x)=1/2} that denotes a change into the stability of the solution of GL equation.
