Abstract: We investigate the Ericksen-Leslie system for the Oseen-Frank model with unequal Frank elastic constants in mathbbR3. To generalize the result of Hineman-Wang cite{HW}, we prove existence of solutions to the Ericksen-Leslie system with initial data having small Luloc3-norm. In particular, we use a new idea to obtain a local L3-estimate through interpolation inequalities and a covering argument, which is different from the one in cite{HW}. Moreover, for uniqueness of solutions, we find a new way to remove the restriction on the Frank elastic constants by using the rotation invariant property of the Oseen-Frank density. We combine this with a method of Li-Titi-Xin cite{LTX} to prove uniqueness of the Luloc3-solutions of the Ericksen-Leslie system assuming that the initial data has a finite energy.
