| Abstract: |
| Here we will talk about the story the Ericksen-Leslie system of liquid crystal with and without the penalty function. What is the advantage and disadvantage of the model with and without the penalty function, including the different numerical approach and phenomena. We present the development and interaction of the defects. These results are partly consistent with the observation from the experiments. Thus this scheme illustrates, to some extent, the kinematic effects of the defects. |
