Refined approximation for minimizers of a Landau-de Gennes energy functional

We study minimizers of a Landau-de Gennes energy functional in the asymptotic regime of small dimensionless elastic constant L > 0. The results on the convergence to a minimizer of the limit Oseen-Frank functional in Majumdar and Zarnescu (Arch Ration Mech Anal 196:227–280, 2010) are revisite...
