Summary
We study the motion of the director field of a nematic liquid crystal submitted to a magnetic field and to a laser beam. The problem takes the form of a quasilinear wave equation in a single space variable, coupled to a Schrödinger equation. We prove the existence of a global weak solution for the initial value problem using a viscous approximation and the compensated compactness method. We finish with some numerical computations to illustrate the results.
