We consider the scalar Zakharov system in $\R^3$ for initial conditions $(\psi(0), n(0), n_t(0)) \in H^{\ell+1/2} \times H^\ell \times H^{\ell-1} $, $0\leq\ell \leq 1$. Assuming that the solution blows up in a finite time $t^* < \infty$, we…
We study the exchange of stability in scalar reaction-diffusion equations which feature a slow passage through transcritical and pitchfork type singularities in the reaction term, using a novel adaptation of the geometric blow-up method.…
In this paper, we apply a blow-up method of Schoen and Yau in \cite{SY81} to study a large class of prescribed mean curvature (PMC) Dirichlet problems in $n(n\geq 2)$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. In this process we establish curvature…
We consider the non linear focusing wave equation $\partial_{tt}u-\Delta u-u|u|^{p-1}=0$ in large dimensions and for radially symmetric data, in the energy supercritical zone for p large enough. We construct finite time blow up solutions…
Idealized networks of integrate-and-fire neurons with impulse-like interactions obey McKean-Vlasov diffusion equations in the mean-field limit. These equations are prone to blowups: for a strong enough interaction coupling, the mean-field…

Guderley's 1942 work on radial shock waves provides cases of self-similar Euler flows exhibiting blowup of primary (undifferentiated) flow variables: a converging shock wave invades a quiescent region, and the velocity and pressure in its…

As the main problem, the bi-Laplace equation $\Delta^2u=0 (\Delta=D_x^2+D_y^2)$ in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \re^2$, with inhomogeneous Dirichlet or Navier-type conditions on the smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$ is considered. In…
