In this paper, we study a conditional long-time stable fully discrete finite element scheme for a Ginzburg-Landau model for nematic liquid crystal flow. We also obtain its time asymptotic convergence (when number of time steps go to infinity, fixed time step and mesh size) towards a unique critical point of the elastic energy subject to the finite element subspace. Finally, we estimate some convergence rates towards this limit critical point. To prove convergence of the whole sequence, a Lojasiewicz type inequality is used.
    Moreover, we extend these results to other schemes given in [3] and [10].
Keywords: finite element method, Lojasiewicz inequality, Navier-Stokes Equations, convergence to equilibrium., Nematic liquid crystal flow.
