Oseen-Frank-type theories of ordered media as the -limit of a non-local mean-field free energy
Jamie M. Taylor
In this work we recover the Oseen-Frank theory of nematic liquid crystals as a -limit of a particular mean-field free energy as the sample size becomes infinitely large. The Fra…

Density functional theory for dense nematics with steric interactions
Eduardo S. Nascimento, Peter Palffy-Muhoray, Jamie M. Taylor +2
The celebrated work of Onsager on hard particle systems, based on the truncated second order virial expansion, is valid at relatively low volume fractions for large aspect ratio pa…

An analysis of equilibria in dense nematic liquid crystals
Jamie M. Taylor
This paper is concerned with the rigorous analysis of a recently proposed model of Zheng et. al. for describing nematic liquid crystals within the dense regime, with the orientatio…
