Abstract: | In this paper we prove existence of weak solution with the reproductivity in time property, for a penalized PDE’s system related
to a nematic liquid crystal model.
This problem is relatively explict when time-independent Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed for the orientation of
crystal molecules. Nevertheless, for the time-dependent case, the treatment of the problem is completely different. The verification
of a maximum principle for weak reproductive solutions is fundamental in the argument. |
