  ABSTRACT: In this paper I access the degree of approximation of known symbolic approach to solving of Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations using variational method and a concept of vortex lattice with circular unit cells, refine it in a clear and concise way, identify and eliminate the errors. Also, I will improve its accuracy by providing for the first time precise dependencies of the variational parameters; correct and calculate magnetisation, compare it with the one calculated numerically and conclude they agree within 98.5% or better for any value of the GL parameter k and at magnetic field , which is good basis for many engineering applications. As a result, a theoretical tool is developed using known symbolic solutions of GL equations with accuracy surpassing that of any other known symbolic solution and approaching that of numerical one.
