Title: Radial minimizer of a variant of the p-Ginzburg-Landau functional Author: Yutian Lei (Nanjing Normal University, China) Abstract: We study the asymptotic behavior of the radial minimizer of a variant of the p-Ginzburg-Landau functional when $p \geq n$. The location of the zeros and the uniqueness of the radial minimizer are derived. We also prove the $W^{1,p}$ convergence of the radial minimizer for this functional. Submitted December 30, 2002.
