Motion of the Ginzburg-Landau vortices for the mixed flow with convective forcing

Abstract

We consider the mixed Ginzburg-Landau flow that is supplemented with convective derivatives of the unknown function. We show that the associated vortex motion law is the mixed flow of the renormalized energy with new nonlinear forcing terms. These terms are uniquely determined by the extra terms in the initial PDE. Our proof relies on the assumption that the initial data are close to optimal.
