We construct finite time blow-up solutions to the 2-dimensional harmonic map flow into the sphere $S^2$, \begin{align*} u_t & = \Delta u + |\nabla u|^2 u \quad \text{in } \Omega\times(0,T) \\ u &= \varphi \quad \text{on } \partial…
We study the internal controllability of a wave equation with memory in the principal part, defined on the one-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}/2\pi\mathbb{Z}$. We assume that the control is acting on an open subset…
In this paper we consider sequences $u_j:B_2\subseteq M\to N$ of stationary harmonic maps between smooth Riemannian manifolds with uniformly bounded energy $E[u_j]\equiv \int |\nabla u_j|^2\leq \Lambda$ . After passing to a subsequence it…
We consider the late-time asymptotic behavior for solutions of Einstein's equations with the wave map matter. Solutions starting from small compactly supported $\ell$-equivariant initial data with $\ell\geq 1$ are shown to decay as…
We exploit a suite of large \emph{N}-body simulations (up to N=$4096^3$) performed with \Abacus, of scale-free models with a range of spectral indices $n$, to better understand and quantify convergence of the matter power spectrum. Using…
We show that the spatial distribution of the energy density of optimally shaped waves inside a scattering medium can be described by considering only a few of the lowest eigenfunctions of the diffusion equation. Taking into account only the…
Topological properties of the spectrum of shallow-water waves on a rotating spherical body are established. Particular attention is paid to its spectral flow, i.e. the modes whose frequencies transit between the Rossby and inertia-gravity…
We define renormalised energies for maps that describe the first-order asymptotics of harmonic maps outside of singularities arising due to obstructions generated by the boundary data and the mutliple connectedness of the target manifold.…
We consider 1-equivariant wave maps from \R \times (\R^3 \setminus B) to S^3 where B is a ball centered at 0, and the boundary of B gets mapped to a fixed point on S^3. We show that 1-equivariant maps of degree zero scatter to zero…
We establish local energy decay for damped magnetic wave equations on stationary, asymptotically flat space-times subject to the geometric control condition. More specifically, we allow for the addition of time-independent magnetic and…
We establish the existence of wave-like solutions to spatially coupled graphical models which, in the large size limit, can be characterized by a one-dimensional real-valued state. This is extended to a proof of the threshold saturation…
We consider the half-wave maps equation $$ \partial_t \mathbf{u} = \mathbf{u} \times |D| \mathbf{u} $$ for $\mathbf{u} : \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{T} \to \mathbb{S}^2$, where $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}/2 \pi \mathbb{Z}$ is the one-dimensional…
We consider the wave equation with Kelvin-Voigt damping in a bounded domain. The exponential stability result proposed by Liu and Rao or T\'ebou for that system assumes that the damping is localized in a neighborhood of the whole or a part…
We consider semilinear wave equations with small initial data in two space dimensions. For a class of wave equations with cubic nonlinearity, we show the global existence of small amplitude solutions, and give an asymptotic description of…
In this paper, we study the numerical stabilization of a 1D system of two wave equations coupled by velocities with an internal, local control acting on only one equation. In the theoretical part of this study, we distinguished two cases.…
We consdier in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maos into sphere with bi-tension fields bounded in $L^p$ for some $p>1$. We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of Hessian energies by the…
We study one-loop photon (Pi) and neutrino (Sigma) self-energies in a U(1) covariant gauge-theory on d-dimensional noncommutative spaces determined by a antisymmetric-constant tensor theta^{mu nu}. For the general fermion-photon (S_f) and…
In earlier works, we have shown the uniform decay of the local energy of the damped wave equation in exterior domain when the damper is spatially localized near captive rays. In order to have uniform decay of the total energy, the damper…
We consider the defocusing nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u + |u|^p u=0$ in the energy-supercritical regime p>4. For even values of the power p, we show that blowup (or failure to scatter) must be accompanied by blowup of the…
