Abstract

In this paper, we study the one-dimensional nematicon equations which model the propagation of coherent and polarized light in nonlocal nematic liquid crystals. The existences of local and global solutions are derived first upon applying the Strichartz's estimates. Then the existence of ground state solitary wave solutions is proved by using the concentration-compactness technique and the critical point theory.
