On Stationary Solutions of the 2D Doi-Onsager Model

Analysis of PDEs 2015-03-06 v1

Abstract

We study the 2D Doi--Onsager models with general potential kernel, with special emphasis on the classical Onsager kernel. Through application of topological methods from nonlinear functional analysis, in particular the Leray--Schauder degree theory, we obtain the uniqueness of the trivial solution for low temperatures as well as the local bifurcation structure of the solutions.
