We show the existence of non-trivial self-expanding harmonic map flows starting from non-energy-minimizing 0-homogeneous maps to a regular ball or a closed hemisphere. In particular, given a non-minimizing but stationary 0-homogeneous…

In general, solutions $u$ to \[ \Delta u(\mathbf{x})=f(\mathbf{x})\chi_{\{u>\psi\}} \] are not $C^{1,1}$, even for $f$ smooth and $\psi(\mathbf{x})\equiv0$. Points around which $u$ is not $C^{1,1}$ are called singular points, and the set of…

We consider generic 2 x 2 singular Liouville systems on a smooth bounded domain in the plane having some symmetry with respect to the origin. We construct a family of solutions to which blow-up at the origin and whose local mass at the…

For $0<\alpha<\frac{1}{3}$ we construct unique solutions to the fractal Burgers equation $\partial_t u + u\partial_xu + (-\Delta)^\alpha u = 0$ which develop a first shock in finite time, starting from smooth generic initial data. This…

In the paper, the shock formation for the two-dimensional rotating shallow water system is established. We construct a large class of initial data which leads to the finite-time blow-up for the solutions. Moreover, the solutions are allowed…

The primitive equations (PEs) model large scale dynamics of the oceans and the atmosphere. While it is by now well-known that the three-dimensional viscous PEs is globally well-posed in Sobolev spaces, and that there are solutions to the…

In 2011 Enders, M\"{u}ller and Topping showed that any blow up sequence of a Type I Ricci flow near a singular point converges to a non-trivial gradient Ricci soliton, leading them to conclude that for such flows all reasonable definitions…

The goal of this numerical study is to get insight into singular solutions of the two-dimensional (2D) Euler equations for non-smooth initial data, in particular for vortex sheets. To this end high resolution computations of vortex layers…
