✦ Synopsis

We report the results of a computer simulation of the behavior of a finite array of superconducting weak links on a two dimensional square lattice. We find that the shape as well as the size of the array have an important influence on the behavior of quantized vortices in the array and the induction of those vortices into the array when a magnetic field is applied. In particular, we find it impossible to induce only one vortex in a regularly shaped array.
