The paper is concerned with a scalar conservation law with discontinuous gradient-dependent flux. Namely, the flux is described by two different functions $f(u)$ or $g(u)$, when the gradient $u_x$ of the solution is positive or negative,…
In this paper we propose the first framework to study Burgers' equation featuring critical fast diffusion in form of $u_t+f(u)_x = (\ln u)_{xx}$. The solution possesses a strong singularity when $u=0$ hence bringing technical challenges.…
In this paper, we prove the finite-time shock formation for the compressible Euler equations on the two-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$. In contrast to the flat Euclidean case $\mathbb{R}^2$, the geometry of $\mathbb S^2$ imposes new…
Whether singularities can form in fluids remains a foundational unanswered question in mathematics. This phenomenon occurs when solutions to governing equations, such as the 3D Euler equations, develop infinite gradients from smooth initial…

We study finite total curvature solutions of the Liouville equation $\Delta u+e^{2u}=0$ on a complete surface $(M,g)$ with nonnegative Gauss curvature. It turns out that the asymptotic behavior of the solution separates two extremal cases:…
We consider the motion of an axisymmetric column of Navier-Stokes fluid with a free surface. Due to surface tension, the thickness of the fluid neck goes to zero in finite time. After the singularity, the fluid consists of two halves, which…
We construct a new class of self-similar implosion profiles for the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations. These profiles are smooth, genuinely non-isentropic, radially/spherically symmetric, and have explicit (closed-form)…

A system of hyperbolic conservation laws $$ \partial_t u + \partial_x \partial_u Q = 0, \quad Q = u_1^3 / 3 + u_1 u_2^2, \qquad u = u(x,t) \in\mR^2, $$ as well as its viscous regularization $$ \partial_t u + \partial_x \partial_u Q = \calM…
We investigate the equation $(u_t + (f(u))_x)_x = f''(u) (u_x)^2/2$ where $f(u)$ is a given smooth function. Typically $f(u)= u^2/2$ or $u^3/3$. This equation models unidirectional and weakly nonlinear waves for the variational wave…
