Fundamental global similarity solutions of the tenth-order thin film equation u_{t} = \nabla \cdot(|u|^{n} \n \D^4 u) in R^N \times R_+, where n>0 are studied. The main approach consists in passing to the limit n \to 0^+ by using Hermitian…

Local oscillatory and other properties of source-type solutions of doubly nonlinear sixth-order parabolic thin film equations are studied.
It is shown that solutions of the Cauchy for the fourth-order thin film equation becomes non-oscillatory and non-sign-changing precisely at and above the heteroclinic bifurcation point n=1.75987..., so that, possibly, these solutions begin…
We study the large time behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the quasilinear absorption-diffusion equation $$ \partial_tu=\Delta u^m-|x|^{\sigma}u^p, \quad (x,t)\in\real^N\times(0,\infty), $$ with exponents $p>m>1$ and $\sigma>0$…
In this paper we study both the Cauchy problem and the initial boundary value problem for the equation $\partial_tu+\mbox{div}\left(\nabla\Delta u-{\bf g}(\nabla u)\right)=0$. This equation has been proposed as a continuum model for kinetic…
It is shown that a Riemann-type problem with discontinuous data of sign-type for the thin film equation, which degenerates at +1 and -1, admits a self-similar solution. Both FBP and the Cauchy problem (oscillatory solutions near interfaces)…
The quasilinear fourth-order thin film equation in $R^N$ is shown to admit infinite countable families of global and blow-up similarity solutions, which are originated in the limit from eigenfunctions of the corresponding linear…
We study the Cauchy problem for the equation of the form $$ \ddot{u}(t) + (\aa A + B)\dot{u}(t) + (A+G)u(t) = 0,\tag* $$ where $A$, $B$, and $G$ are \o s in a Hilbert space $\Cal H$ with $A$ selfadjoint, $\sigma(A)=[0,\infty)$, $B\ge0$…
In this thesis the Cauchy problem and in particular the question of singularity formation for co--rotational wave maps from 3+1 Minkowski space to the three--sphere $S^3$ is studied. Numerics indicate that self--similar solutions of this…
In any number of space variables, we study the Cauchy problem related to the thin-film equation in the simplest case of a linearly degenerate mobility. This equation, derived from a lubrication approximation, also models the surface tension…
The diffusion equation is a universal and standard textbook model for partial differential equations (PDEs). In this work, we revisit its solutions, seeking, in particular, self-similar profiles. This problem connects to the classical…
In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for both linear and semi-linear elliptic equations. In general, the equations have the form \[ \frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial…

The use of the sine-Gordon equation as a model of magnetic flux propagation in Josephson junctions motivates studying the initial-value problem for this equation in the semiclassical limit in which the dispersion parameter $\e$ tends to…
We will extend a recent result of B.Choi, P.Daskalopoulos and J.King. For any $n\ge 3$, $0<m<\frac{n-2}{n+2}$ and $\gamma>0$, we will construct subsolutions and supersolutions of the fast diffusion equation $u_t=\frac{n-1}{m}\Delta u^m$ in…
