## Abstract A bifurcational analysis is performed on Doi's equation of nematodynamics that describes the non‐equlibrium isotropic‐nematic phase transition of rigid rod polymers in the presence of steady biaxial stretching flow. The symmetry of the flow and of the governing order parameter equations
