From molecular to continuum modelling of bistable liquid crystal devices

We study nematic equilibria on a square with tangent Dirichlet conditions on the edges, in three different modelling frameworks: (i) the off-lattice Hard Gaussian Overlap and Gay-Berne models; (ii) the latticebased Lebwohl-Lasher model; and the (iii) two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes model. We compar...
