We propose a many-particle-inspired theory for granular outflows from a hopper and for the escape dynamics through a bottleneck based on a continuity equation in polar coordinates. If the inflow is below the maximum outflow, we find an…
We study the nonlinear wave equation with a sign-changing potential in any space dimension. If the potential is small and rapidly decaying, then the existence of small-amplitude solutions is driven by the nonlinear term. If the potential…
We investigate semilinear wave-type equations that can be recast as wave equations with derivatives perturbed by zero-order terms. This framework covers several well-studied cases, including the scale-invariant wave equation. In this…
We construct an asymptotic (in a weak sense) solution corresponding to the shock wave formation in a special situation.
It is shown that fifth-order nonlinear dispersion equations from compacton theory admit shock and rarefaction waves. A self-similar gradient blow-up is shown to admit infinitely many similarity extensions beyond blow-up time, meaning…

Wave resonance is the fundamental mechanism of non-linear instabilities of fluid flows, and affects the long-time evolution of fluid motions and other physical problems described by non-linear differential equations. Some significant…
Fluid discontinuities, such as shock fronts and vortex sheets, can reflect waves and become unstable to corrugation. Analytical calculations of these phenomena are tractable in the simplest cases only, while their numerical simulations are…

Some special properties of smoothness and singularity concerning to the initial value problem associated with higher-order generalized KdV equations are investigated. On one hand, we show the propagation of regularity phenomena. More…
The main purpose here is the study of dispersive blow-up for solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. Dispersive blow-up refers to point singularities due to the focusing of short or long waves. We will construct initial data such that…
We study singularity formation for the focusing quadratic wave equation in the energy supercritical case, i.e., for $d \geq 7$. We find in closed form a new, non-trivial, radial, self-similar blowup solution $u^*$ which exists for all $d…
We consider blow-up solutions of a semilinear wave equation with a loglog perturbation of the power nonlinearity in the subconformal case, and show that the blow-up rate is given by the solution of the associated ODE which has the same…
