Regularity of a Gradient Flow Generated by the Anisotropic Landau--de Gennes Energy with a Singular Potential
In this paper we study a gradient flow generated by the Landau--de Gennes free energy that describes nematic liquid crystal configurations in the space of $Q$-tensors. This free energy density functional is composed of three quadratic terms as the elastic energy density part, and a singular potential in the bulk …
