Augmented Lagrangian preconditioners for the Oseen–Frank model of nematic and cholesteric liquid crystals

We propose a robust and efficient augmented Lagrangian-type preconditioner for solving linearizations of the Oseen–Frank model arising in nematic and cholesteric liquid crystals. By applying the augmented Lagrangian method, the Schur complement of the director block can be better approximated by the...
