Bifurcation analysis in a frustrated nematic cell
Xavier Lamy
Using Landau-de Gennes theory to describe nematic order, we study a frustrated cell consisting of nematic liquid crystal confined between two parallel plates. We prove the uniquene…

A new light on the breaking of uniaxial symmetry in nematics
Xavier Lamy
Within the Landau-de Gennes theory of liquid crystals, we study theoretically the equilibrium configurations with uniaxial symmetry. For an arbitrary form of the bulk energy densit…

Existence of critical points with semi-stiff boundary conditions for singular perturbation problems in simply connected planar domains
Xavier Lamy, Petru Mironescu
Let be a smooth bounded simply connected domain in . We investigate the existence of critical points of the energy $E_\varepsilon (u)=1/2\int_Ω|\nabla u|^2+1/(4\v…
