We study the dynamics of the collision of two solitary waves for the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in dimension $2$ and $3$. We describe the evolution of the solution behaving as a sum of $2$-solitary waves of nearly equal speeds at time…

We consider a wave equation with a nonlocal logarithmic damping depending on a small parameter $\theta \in (0,1/2)$. This research is a counter part of that was initiated by Charao-D'Abbicco-Ikehata considered in [5] for the large parameter…

We prove that for large enough data, the life span of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for the following two quasilinear hyperbolic systems is finite: (1) equations of relativistic compressible fluid dynamics, (2) equations of plasma…
