We study vortices for solutions of the perturbed Ginzburg–Landau equations Δ u + ( u / ε 2 ) ( 1 | u | 2 ) = f ε where f ε is estimated in L 2 . We prove upper bounds for the Ginzburg–Landau energy in terms of f ε L 2 , and obtain lower bounds for f ε L 2 in terms of the vortices when these form “unbalanced clusters” where i d i 2 ( i d i ) 2 . These results will serve in Part II of this paper to provide estimates on the energy-dissipation rates for solutions of the Ginzburg–Landau heat flow, which allow one to study various phenomena occurring in this flow, including vortex collisions; they allow in particular extending the dynamical law of vortices beyond collision times.

We prove upper bounds for the Ginzburg–Landau energy in terms of $\Vert f_\varepsilon \Vert _{L^2}$, and obtain lower bounds for $\Vert f_\varepsilon \Vert _{L^2}$ in terms of the vortices when these form “unbalanced clusters” where $\sum _i d^2_i\ne (\sum _i d_i)^2$.
