It is known that there is a class of semilinear parabolic equations for which interior gradient blow-up (in finite time) occurs for some solutions. We construct a continuation of such solutions after gradient blow-up. This continuation is…

We study singularity formation in two one-dimensional nonlinear wave models with quadratic time-derivative nonlinearities. The non-null model violates the null condition and typically develops finite-time blow-up; the null-form model is…

We consider the classical problem of the blowing-up of solutions of the nonlinear heat equation. We show that there exist infinitely many profiles around the blow-up point, and for each integer $k$, we construct a set of codimension $2k$ in…

We consider the energy critical semilinear heat equation $$ \left\{\begin{aligned} &\partial_t u-\Delta u =|u|^{\frac{4}{n-2}}u &\mbox{in } {\mathbb R}^n\times(0,T),\\ &u(x,0)=u_0(x), \end{aligned}\right. $$ where $ n\geq 3$, $u_0\in…

We consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation \[ u_t = i \Delta u + | u |^\alpha u \quad \mbox{on ${\mathbb R}^N $, $\alpha>0$,} \] for $H^1$-subcritical or critical nonlinearities: $(N-2) \alpha \le 4$. Under the additional technical…

We study systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations where the dominant term, with respect to large spatial variables, causes blow-ups and is positively homogeneous of a degree $1+\alpha$ for some $\alpha>0$. We prove that the…

The blowup is studied for the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation $iu_{t}+\Delta u+ |u|^{p-1}u=0$ with $p$ is odd and $p\ge 1+\frac 4{N-2}$ (the energy-critical or energy-supercritical case). It is shown that the solution with negative…

Refined structures of blowup for non-collapsing maximal solution to a semilinear parabolic equation are studied. We will prove that the blowup set is empty for non-collapsing blowing-up in subcritical case, and all finite time…

We unify a few of the best known results on wave breaking for the Camassa--Holm equation (by R. Camassa, A. Constantin, J. Escher, L. Holm, J. Hyman and others) in a single theorem: a sufficient condition for the breakdown is that…

In this paper we perform a refined blow up analysis of finite energy approximated solutions to a Nirenberg type problem on half spheres. The later consists of prescribing, under minimal boundary conditions, the scalar curvature to be a…

We consider the defocusing nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u + |u|^p u=0$ in the energy-supercritical regime p>4. For even values of the power p, we show that blowup (or failure to scatter) must be accompanied by blowup of the…

We derive a blow-up dichotomy for positive solutions of fractional semilinear heat equations on the whole space. That is, within a certain class of convex source terms, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the source for all…

In this work we derive some blow-up results for semilinear wave equations both in de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes. By requiring suitable conditions on a time-dependent factor in the nonlinear term, we prove the blow-up in finite…
