The square of the displacement of the vortex lattice in high-temperature superconductors has been calculated by treating the fluxons as bosons, and the melting temperature has been deduced using the Lindemann criterion. Both the zero-point fluxon and the number-density-dependent contributions to the square of the displacement are found. The field-versus-temperature relationship near the melting line is deduced. The calculated position of the melting line is in reasonable agreement with the experimental value.
