    Dissipative solution to the Ericksen-Leslie system equipped with the Oseen-Frank energy
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Lasarzik, Robert
    We analyze the EricksenLeslie system equipped with the OseenFrank energy in three space dimensions. The new concept of dissipative solutions is introduced. Recently, the author introduced the concept of measure-valued solutions to the considered system and showed global existence as well as weak-strong uniqueness of these generalized solutions. In this paper, we show that the expectation of the measure valued solution is a dissipative solution. The concept of a dissipative solution itself relies on an inequality instead of an equality, but is described by functions instead of parametrized measures. These solutions exist globally and fulfill the weak-strong uniqueness property. Additionally, we generalize the relative energy inequality to solutions fulfilling different nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and incorporate the influence of a temporarily constant electromagnetic field. Relying on this generalized energy inequality, we investigate the long-time behavior and show that all solutions converge for the large time limit to a certain steady state.
