SummaryWe prove existence of minimizers of the functional
$$\int\limits_\Omega {\left( {\kappa \left| {\nabla s} \right|^2 + s^2 \left| {\nabla u} \right|^2 + \Psi (s)} \right)} {\mathbf{ }}dx$$
recently suggested by Ericksen [8] for the statics of nematic liquid crystals. A set of necessary conditions for the minimizers and a monotonicity formula are also found.
