Here, we have considered a large class of potential $V$ that includes the Ginzburg-Landau potential $V(t)=(t^{2}-1)^{2}$ and two geometric conditions on the function $A$. In the first condition we assume that $A$ is asymptotic at infinity to a periodic function, while in the second one $A$ satisfies $$ 0
