Abstract
The non-linear kinetic equation describing the evolution of the orient ational structural of nematic liquid crystals is investigated. The equ ilibrium structures are described and their stability and the behaviou r of the solutions for long times are investigated. The super-slow evo lution (for example, in a very intense magnetic field) of the irregula r structure to a regular stable structure is described. (C) 1997 Elsev ier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
