Abstract
Following [2] and [1], we deduce, from Leslie’s model (cf. C9]), a weak formulation for the time dependent coupled equations of an incompressible nematic liquid crystal submitted to a strong homogeneous magnetic field. We also give some results about the existence, uniqueness, regularity and asymptotic behavior of weak solutions (cf. [2], [4],[1] and [5]).
