We prove short time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for the initial value problem for the periodic case and in bounded domains with both Dirichlet- and Neumann-type boundary conditions.Liquid crystalEricksen-Leslie equationsnematodynamicsexistence and uniquenessdirector fieldspeed of propagationExistence and uniqueness theorems for the full three-dimensional Ericksen-Leslie systemtext::journal::journal article::research article
