AbstractIn this paper, the inviscid limit behavior of solution of the fractional complex Ginzburg–Landau (FCGL) equation$${\partial _t}u + (a + i\nu){\Lambda ^{2\alpha}}u + (b + i\mu){\left| u \right|^{2\sigma}}u = 0, \quad (x, t) \in {{\Cal T}^n} \times (0, \infty)$$is considered. It is shown that the solution of the FCGL equation converges to the solution of nonlinear fractional complex Schrödinger equation, while the initial data${u_0}$is taken in${L^2}, $${H^\alpha}$, and${L^{2\sigma + 2}}$as$a,\, b$tends to zero, and the convergence rate is also obtained.
