The Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional non-isothermal model for compressible nematic liquid crystals is considered. Existence of global-in-time smooth solutions is established provided that the initial datum is close to a steady state (ρ¯,0,d¯,θ¯). By using the LqLq–LpLp estimates and the Fourier splitting method, if the initial perturbation is small in H3H3-norm and bounded in LqLq (q∈[1,65)) norm, we obtain the optimal decay rates for the first and second order spatial derivatives of solutions. In addition, the third and fourth order spatial derivatives of director field d in L2L2-norm are achieved.
