报告摘要：In this talk, I will discuss a recent result on the null controllability of the simplified Erickson-Leslie (EL) system modeling the hydrodynamic of motions of nematic liquid crystal materials, under the zero Neumann boundary condition for the director $d$ and the Navier-slip boundary condition for the fluid velocity $u$, over a two dimensional bounded, smooth region, via interior controls of $u$ and controls by external magnetic fields for $d$. The ideas involve a rigidity inequality on $H^2$-maps into spheres under the zero Neumann boundary condition, the exact controllability of trajectories of EL system, and Coron’s null controllability of the Navier-Stokes equation under Navier slip boundary condition.
