WEAK SOLUTIONS OF GRADIENT FLOW OF LANDAU-DE GENNES ENERGY

Abstract

Taking into account the flexoelectric effects, we consider a gradient flow of Landau-de Gennes energy which generalizes the Oseen-Frank energy. In this article, we discuss existence of weak solutions of the gradient flow in an appropriate function space.
