Abstract

Two finite-difference methods, which differ only in the way that they approximate the derivative boundary conditions, are developed for solving a particular form of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation of superconductivity. The non-linear term in this equation is linearized in a way familiar to readers of Professor Mickens' work, and the numerical solution is obtained at each time step by solving a linear algebraic system. Consistency and stability are discussed and some numerical results are reported.
