Abstract: Let $ N\geq2$ and $ \Omega$ $ \subset\mathbb{R}^{N}$ be a bounded domain with boundary $ \partial\Omega$. Let $ \Gamma\subset\partial\Omega$ be closed. Our purpose in this paper is to consider the existence of stable solutions $ u\in H^{1}(\Omega,\mathcal{\mathbb{C}})$ of the Ginzburg-Landau equation

\begin{displaymath}\left\{ \begin{array}[c]{rlll} -\Delta u(x) & = & \lambda(w_{... ...\nu} & = & 0 & \qquad\qquad\text{on }\Gamma \end{array}\right. \end{displaymath}

where $ \lambda>0,$ $ w_{0}\in C^{2}(\overline{\Omega},\mathbb{\mathbb{R}^{+}})$ and $ g\in C^{2}(\partial\Omega\backslash\Gamma)$ such that $ \left\vert g(x)\right\vert =w_{0}(x)$ on $ \partial\Omega\backslash\Gamma$.
