Research questionHow can continuum models compute stable, highly oscillatory smectic states in complex confinement?Smectic states couple orientational order with periodic density layers. In complex confinement, resolving these high-frequency layers while finding stable configurations strains continuum discretizations and standard relaxation methods.

Evidence includes comparisons with a neural-network baseline and finite-difference relaxation, recovery of experimentally established smectic-A structures, and prediction of a chevron-like smectic-C state in a tangent-anchored sphere.research paper · Sep 3, 2026
