Local in space energy inequalities are employed to recover the estimates on the second order spatial derivatives of the director fields locally in time, which cannot be derived from the basic energy balance. It is shown that these weak solutions satisfy the temperature equation, and also the total energy equation but away from at most finite many ＂singular＂ times, at which the energy concentration occurs and the director field losses its second order derivatives.展开更多

There are some open problems in the field of boundary layer. The method used here is mainly based on a transformation which reduces the boundary layer system to an initial-boundary value problem for a single quasilinear parabolic equation. We prove the existence of weak solutions to the modified nonstationary boundary layer system. Moreover, the stability and uniqueness of weak solutions are discussed.展开更多

We establish a-priori-bounds on the solutions of this system with initial data satisfying a size restriction derived from conservation of energy. This result, together with the smoothing of ＂velocity averaging＂, yields the existence of global weak solutions to the corresponding restricted initial value problem. The size restriction is necessary since energy of the system is indefinite. Finally, we show that the weak solutions preserve the total mass.展开更多

文摘In this article, we prove the global existence of weak solutions to the non- isothermal nematic liquid crystal system on T2, on the basis of a new approximate system which is different from the classical Ginzburg-Landau approximation. Local in space energy inequalities are employed to recover the estimates on the second order spatial derivatives of the director fields locally in time, which cannot be derived from the basic energy balance. It is shown that these weak solutions satisfy the temperature equation, and also the total energy equation but away from at most finite many ＂singular＂ times, at which the energy concentration occurs and the director field losses its second order derivatives.
