Abstract
In this paper, we prove an Osgood type regularity criterion for the model of liquid crystals, which says that the condition
implies the smoothness of the solution. Here, \({{\bar S_q=\sum\nolimits_{k=-q}^q \dot {\triangle}_k}}\) with \({\dot{\triangle}_k}\) being the frequency localization operator.
