Pattern formation in Landau–de Gennes theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the spherical droplet problem in 3D Landau–de Gennes theory with finite temperature. By rigorously constructing biaxial–ring solutions and split–core–segment solutions, we theoretically confirm numerical results of Gartland–Mkaddem [15]. The structures disclinations are also addressed.

متن کاملPattern formation in Laplacian growth: Theory
A first-principles statistical theory is constructed for the evolution of two dimensional interfaces in Laplacian fields. The aim is to predict the pattern that the growth evolves into, whether it becomes fractal and if so the characteristics of the fractal pattern. Using a time dependent map the growing region is conformally mapped onto the unit disk and the problem is converted to the dynamic...
متن کاملHormetic electric field theory of pattern formation.
The hormetic morphogen theory of curvature (Fosslien 2009) proposes that hormetic morphogen concentration gradients modulate the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by cells along the gradients (field cells) and thus regulate their proliferation and induce curvature such as vascular wall curvature; however, it is unclear whether such morphogen gradients can also determine the histological...
متن کاملTheory of ocular dominance pattern formation.
We investigate a general and analytically tractable model for the activity-dependent formation of neuronal connectivity patterns. Previous models are contained as limiting cases. As an important example we analyze the formation of ocular dominance patterns in the visual cortex. A linear stability analysis reveals that the model undergoes a Turing-type instability as a function of interaction ra...
متن کاملThe Radial-Hedgehog Solution in Landau–de Gennes’ theory
We study the radial-hedgehog solution on a unit ball in three dimensions, with homeotropic boundary conditions, within the Landau-de Gennes theory for nematic liquid crystals. The radial-hedgehog solution is a candidate for a globally stable configuration in this model framework and is also a prototype configuration for studying isolated point defects in condensed matter physics. We use a combi...
