Regularity of minimizers of a tensor-valued variational obstacle problem in three dimensions
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Motivated by Ball and Majumdar's modification of Landau-de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals, we study energy-minimizer of a tensor-valued variational obstacle problem in a bounded 3-D domain with prescribed boundary data. The energy functional is designed to blow up as approaches the obstacle. Under certain assumptions, especially on blow-up profile of the singular bulk potential, we prove higher interior regularity of , and show that the contact set of is either empty, or small with characterization of its Hausdorff dimension. We also prove boundary partial regularity of the energy-minimizer.
