Abstract:

This paper continues our investigation on the properties of the Landau--de Gennes elastic free-energy for constrained biaxial nematic systems. The principal aim of the paper is to discuss the question of coercivity for the most common four-elastic-constant form of the Landau--de Gennes elastic free-energy and the corresponding energy minimization problem.
