The Ginzburg-Landau theory is solved in three-dimensions using the simulated annealing technique to minimize the free energy functional. We obtain different vortex patterns, some of which are giant vortices and up to twelve vortices are able to fit inside the cylinderTo appear in Physica C as a special issue of the M2S-Dresden proceedingSuperconductivitytext
