Résumé
Abstract

Par une méthode de penalisation à partir d'un problème simplifiée de type Ericksen–Leslie, nous démontrons l'existence de solution globale pour le modèle limite de crystaux liquides nématiques. Le point essentiel de la démonstration est une nouvelle propieté de compacité du gradient du vecteur directeur.

We prove existence of a global weak solution for a nematic liquid crystal problem by means of a penalization method using a simplified Ericksen–Leslie model and a new compactness property for the gradient of the director field.
