1 Introduction
In this paper, we are concerned with the following Ginzburg-Landau equation
[TABLE]
where is a complex function, and is a given external force.
Equation (1.1) without the external force is a special form of the following generalized derivative Ginzburg-Landau equation
[TABLE]
The Ginzburg-Landau equation has a long history in the research of phase transitions and superconductivity. In fluid mechanical systems, it is a generic amplitude equation near the onset of instabilities that lead to chaotic dynamics. It is also of particularly interest due to it’s certain connection with the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
This paper is devoted to the study of the existence of a periodic in time solution to equation (1.1) with the external force satisfying
[TABLE]
Time periodic problems for the Ginzburg-Landau equation have been extensively investigated in the last decades. Guo-Jing-Lu [7, 8] studied the following cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation
[TABLE]
The existence and properties of the equilibria of the perturbed system and unperturbed system to (1.4) are investigated in [7]. In [8], spatial quasiperiodic solutions to (1.4) are proved to disappear due to the perturbation and several types of heteroclinic orbits are proposed by mathematical and numerical analysis. The following generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation
[TABLE]
is researched by Guo-Yuan [10, 11]. The almost periodic solution to (1.5) is established in Guo-Yuan [11] provided that the external force is almost periodic in time and the coefficients satisfy some conditions. The one dimension case was investigated in [10] and periodic solutions in Sobolev spaces was established under some conditions on the coefficients and Employing a priori estimate and the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem, Guo-Jiang [9] showed the existence and uniqueness of the time-periodic solution to the Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled with the BBM equation. Guo-Yuan [12] considered equation (1.2) plus a damping term and an external force and established the time periodic solution in the setting that is periodic in time variable and is periodic in spatial variable. Equation (1.2) in 3D plus a damping term and an external force but without derivative in the nonlinear terms was investigated by Li-Guo [17] and periodic solution in Sobolev spaces was obtained with the help of Faedo-Schauder fix point theorem and the standard compactness arguments. For more results concerning the periodic solution to the Ginzburg-Landau equation, one can refer to [1, 4, 20, 21, 26, 27]. For results with respect to other aspects to the Ginzburg-Landau equation, one can refer to [2, 3, 6, 13, 14, 18, 25].
This paper aims to look for time periodic solution to equation (1.1) with external force satisfying (1.3) in weighted Sobolev spaces. The idea is due to Kagei-Tsuda [15] and Tsuda [22, 23, 24].
Before going further, we define the following functions

where , and for If we can find a periodic solution and , then we see that is a periodic solution satisfying equation (1.1).
To find a periodic solution to system (1.6), we first construct its local solution satisfying , then we expand the local solution to a global periodic one. The reason we applying to (1.6) is that when is sufficiently small and this admits us to obtain some decay in frequency space when is small enough.
To state our main results, let us first introduce some notations.
We use and to denote the usual Lebesgue space and Sobolev space, respectively. The weighted Lebesgue space is defined by

Let be the unit closed ball of centered at 0 with radius , that is,
[TABLE]
Set
[TABLE]
Our first result concerning the uniquely existence of the periodic solution to the (1.1) in weighted Sobolev space reads
Theorem 1.1**.**
Let the external force and (1.3) be satisfied by . There exists constants and such that if , then equation (1.1) admits a periodic solution with period that satisfies , where and and there holds
[TABLE]
Define Then the uniqueness of periodic solution of (1.1) holds in
After obtaining the time periodic solution to (1.1), a natural question is to ask whether this periodic solution is stable under small perturbation.
Suppose that is the time periodic solution to (1.1) established in Theorem 1.1.
Then the perturbation satisfy
[TABLE]
We investigate the initial value problem of equation (1.7) with initial condition
The second result concerning with the stability of the time periodic solution obtained in Theorem 1.1 reads
Theorem 1.2**.**
Let the external force and (1.3) be satisfied by . Suppose that is the time periodic solution established in Theorem 1.1 and assume If there is a constant small enough such that
[TABLE]
then equation (1.7) admits a unique global solution satisfying
[TABLE]
for and
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In section 2, we collect some useful Lemmas. In section 3, we deal with the low frequency part of (1.6). With help of weighted energy method, the high frequency part of (1.6) is treated in section 4. Section 5 devotes to estimate the nonlinear and nonhomogeneous terms of (1.6). We finally give the proof of Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 in Sections 6 and 7, respectively.

[TABLE]
and such that for all there holds
[TABLE]
Setting in (6.4) and employing (6.3) leads to
[TABLE]
Choosing yields
[TABLE]

By induction, one easily concludes
[TABLE]
for all if choosing .
Next, we easily see that for satisfy the following equation
[TABLE]

Proposition 6.2**.**
Assume that and where , and If there is a sufficiently small constant such that

then there is a constant such that there uniquely exists a solution to system (1.6) on in satisfying The uniqueness holds in
Proof.
Using iteration argument, the proof of Proposition 6.2 is similar to the proof of Proposition 6.1 and we omit the details. ∎
Proof of Theorem 1.1: Having Propositions 6.1 and 6.2 in hand, we can use similar method as that in [15] to prove Theorem 1.1, we present the details here for the reader’s convenience.
First, according to Proposition 6.1, one derives that if then equation (1.6) admits a unique solution satisfying and . This implies that
[TABLE]
Let , then Proposition 6.2 allows us to conclude that equation (1.6) admits a unique solution satisfying and
Next, we define and for by

This shows that satisfies equation (1.6) in We then can obtain solution to (1.6) in satisfying by repeating this argument on for The periodic solution of (1.1) is then obtained by setting The proof of the uniqueness part is due to the iteration argument, we omit the details. We thus complete the proof of Theorem 1.1.
7 Proof of Theorem 1.2
The existence of the unique global solution stated in Theorem 1.2 can be proved using similar method as that in [16], we omit the details and just show the decay rates. The method is due to [19].
Applying and to (1.7), respectively, leads to
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Define
[TABLE]
To prove Theorem 1.2, we first show the following two Lemmas.
For the low frequency part, we will show
Lemma 7.1**.**
There exists a such that if and for . Then there is a constant independent of such that
[TABLE]
for .
Proof.
The solution of (7.1) can be written as
[TABLE]
where
Invoking Plancherel theorem yields
[TABLE]
Using Lemma 2.6, Hölder inequality and Theorem 1.1, it finds
[TABLE]
Applying to (7.4) and employing (7.5)(7) leads to
[TABLE]
for This yields (7.3) and we complete the proof of Lemma 7.1. ∎
For the high frequency part, we will show
Lemma 7.2**.**
There exists a such that if and for . Then we have
[TABLE]
for and some constant large enough.
Proof.
The standard energy method yields
[TABLE]
where integration by parts and Lemma 2.3(ii) have been employed.
Direct calculation leads to
[TABLE]
Substituting (7) into (7.9) and using Young inequality, one obtains
[TABLE]
(7.11) and Lemma 2.3(ii) yield (7.2). We thus complete the proof of Lemma 7.2. ∎
Proof of Theorem 1.2:
We will show that if there is a constant small enough such that then for with independent of A bootstrap argument yields for all with a constant independent of
First, (7.2) implies
[TABLE]
Setting Then one has from (7.12) that
[TABLE]
Adding (7.13) to (7.3) and choosing sufficiently small, we obtain
[TABLE]
On the other hand, we note that there is a constant such that
[TABLE]
The continuity of in yields that there is a such that
[TABLE]
Set
We will prove that for all if is selected suitably small.
Suppose this is not the case. Then there is a such that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
However, from (7.14), we deduce
[TABLE]
provided we choose .
The above inequality leads to
[TABLE]
