Well-posedness of the full Ericksen-Leslie model of nematic liquid crystals

The Ericksen-Leslie model of nematic liquid crystals is a coupled system between the Navier-Stokes and the Ginzburg-Landau equations. We show here the local well-posedness for this problem for any initial data regular enough, by a fixed point approach relying on some weak continuity properties in a...
