Blowup rate estimates of the Ball-Majumdar potential and its gradient in the Landau-de Gennes theory

In this paper we revisit a singular bulk potential in the Landau-de Gennes free energy that describes nematic liquid crystal configurations in the framework of the Q-tensor order parameter. This singular potential, called Ball-Majumdar potential, is introduced in [3], and is considered as a natural enforcement of a physical constraint on the eigenvalues of symmetric, traceless Q-tensors. Specifically, we establish blowup rates of both this singular potential and its gradient as Q approaches its physical boundary.
