Weak solution to compressible hydrodynamic flow of liquid crystals in dimension one (Q2430091): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the equation modeling the compressible hydrodynamic flow of liquid crystals in one dimension. One establishes the existence of a weak solution \((\rho,u,n)\) of such a system when the initial density function \(0\leq\rho_0\in L^\gamma\) for \(\gamma>1\), \(u_0\in L^2\) and \(n_0\in H^1\). This extends a previous result of the authors, where the existence of a weak solution was obtained under the stronger assumption that the initial density function \(0<c\leq \rho_0\in H^1\), \(u_0\in L^2\) and \(n_0\in H^1\).
