This paper is concerned with the local well-posedness, wave breaking, blow-up rate for a Camassa-Holm type equation with time-dependent weak dissipation. Firstly, we obtain the local well-posedness of solutions by using Kato's theory.…
We present an inverse scattering transform approach for the equation $u_{txx}-3u_x+3u_xu_{xx}+uu_{xxx}=0$. This equation can be viewed as the short wave model for the Degasperis-Procesi equation or the differentiated Ostrovsky-Vakhnenko…
Many equations that arise in a physical context can be posed in the form of a Hamiltonian system, meaning that there is a symplectic structure on an appropriate phase space, and a Hamiltonian functional with respect to which time evolution…
Time-harmonic electromagnetic waves in vacuum are described by the Helmholtz equation $\Delta u+\omega ^{2}u=0 $ for $ (x,y,z) \in \mathbb{R}^3 $. For the evolution of such waves along the $z$-axis a Schr\"odinger equation can be derived…
We consider the linear water-wave problem in a periodic channel $\Pi^h \subset \mathbb{R}^3$, which is shallow except for a periodic array of deep potholes in it. Motivated by applications to surface wave propagation phenomena, we study the…

It is shown that surface waves propagating against the external current, slowly varying in the horizontal direction in deep water, are governed by the equation which is tantamount to the Gross - Pitaevskii equation modelling the mean-field…
Observations and theory suggest that line driven winds from hot stars and luminous accretion disks adopt a unique, critical solution which corresponds to maximum mass loss rate. We analyze the numerical stability of the infinite family of…
