Abstract
We study the existence, uniqueness and minimality of critical points of the form of the functional for with on . We establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the dimension and the parameters and for the existence of an escaping vortex solution with . We also establish its uniqueness and local minimality. In particular, when , we prove the local minimality of the degree-one vortex solution for the Ginzburg–Landau (GL) energy for every and . Similarly, when , we prove the local minimality of the degree-one escaping vortex solution to an -valued GL model in micromagnetics for all and .
