Scalings and limits of Landau-de Gennes models for liquid crystals: a comment on some recent analytical papers
Some recent analytical papers have explored limiting behaviors of Landaude Gennes models for liquid crystals in certain extreme ranges of the model parameters: limits of “vanishing elasticity” (in the language of some of these papers) and “low-temperature limits.” We use simple scaling analysis to s...
