A Dirichlet inhomogeneous boundary value problem for a generalized Ginzburg–Landau equation

The Ginzburg–Landau equation has been used as a simplified mathematical model for various pattern formation systems in mechanics, physics and chemistry. In this paper, we study a generalized complex Ginzburg–Landau equation in two spatial dimension with a fifth order nonlinear term and cubic terms containing spatial derivatives. We prove a global existence and uniqueness theorem. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
