A variational singular perturbation problem motivated by Ericksen's model for nematic liquid crystals
Dmitry Golovaty, Itai Shafrir
We study the asymptotic behavior, when , of the minimizers for the energy \begin{equation*} E_\varepsilon(u)=\int_Ω\Big(|\nabla…

A variational method for generating -cross fields using higher-order -tensors
Dmitry Golovaty, Jose Alberto Montero, Daniel Spirn
An -cross field is a locally-defined orthogonal coordinate system invariant with respect to the cubic symmetry group. Cross fields are finding wide-spread use in mesh generation…

Thin Film Liquid Crystals with Oblique Anchoring and Boojums
Stan Alama, Lia Bronsard, Dmitry Golovaty
We study a two-dimensional variational problem which arises as a thin-film limit of the Landau-de Gennes energy of nematic liquid crystals. We impose an oblique angle condition for…
