In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 48, 1254 (1993)], an alternative procedure is proposed for obtaining the nematic director field that minimizes the total free energy of a nematic liquid crystal. In this Comment we show that this solution does not correspond to a minimum of the free energy.

Abstract
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 48, 1254 (1993)], an alternative procedure is proposed for obtaining the nematic director field that minimizes the total free energy of a nematic liquid crystal. In this Comment we show that this solution does not correspond to a minimum of the free energy.File in questo prodotto:
