In this paper, two kinds of the exact singular solutions are obtained by the improved homogeneous balance (HB) method and a nonlinear transformation. The two exact solutions show that special singular wave patterns exists in the classical…
We consider finite energy corotationnal wave maps with target manifold $\m S^2$. We prove that for a sequence of times, they decompose as a sum of decoupled harmonic maps in the light cone, and a smooth wave map (in the blow case) or a…
We consider the blow-up of solutions to the following parameterized nonlinear wave equation: $ u_{tt} = c(u)^{2} u_{xx} + \lambda c(u)c'(u)( u_x)^2$ with the real parameter $\lambda$. In previous works, it was reported that there exist…
The paper is concerned with conservative solutions to the nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt} - c(u)\big(c(u) u_x\big)_x = 0$. For an open dense set of $C^3$ initial data, we prove that the solution is piecewise smooth in the $t$-$x$ plane,…

We prove that the Chern-Simons-Dirac equations in the Coulomb gauge are locally well-posed from initial data in H^s with s > 1/4 . To study nonlinear Wave or Dirac equations at this regularity generally requires the presence of null…
In this work, we present a numerical study of the wave stability of steady solitary waves over a localised topographic obstacle through the full Euler equations. There are two branches of the solutions: one from the perturbed uniform flow…
We study the Cauchy problem for the quasilinear wave equation $ \partial^2 _t u = u^{2a} \partial^2_x u + F(u) u_x $ with $a \geq 0$ and show a result for the local in time existence under new conditions. In the previous results, it is…
For Maxwell's equations in a wave guide, we prove the global uniqueness in determination of the conductivity, the permeability and the permittivity by partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann map limited to an arbitrary subboundary.
We prove global well-posedness of the initial value problem for a class of variational quasilinear wave equations, in one spatial dimension, with initial data that is not-necessarily small. Key to our argument is a form of quasilinear null…
