In dimension N=3 the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation has solutions which become singular, i.e. at a spatial point they blow up to infinity in finite time. In 1972 Zakharov famously investigated finite time singularity formation in the…
We present a perturbative treatment of the evolution under their mutual self-gravity of particles displaced off an infinite perfect lattice, both for a static space and for a homogeneously expanding space as in cosmological N-body…

Relativistic electron beam propagation in plasma is fraught with several micro instabilities like two stream, filamentation etc., in plasma. This results in severe limitation of the electron transport through a plasma medium. Recently,…
We are interested in developing a numerical method for capturing stationary sheaths, that a plasma forms in contact with a metallic wall. This work is based on a bi-species (ion/electron) Vlasov-Amp{\`e}re model proposed in [3]. The main…
This work deals with the numerical solution of the Vlasov equation. This equation gives a kinetic description of the evolution of a plasma, and is coupled with Poisson's equation for the computation of the self-consistent electric field.…
Motivated by the work on stagnation-point type exact solutions (with infinite energy) of 3D Euler fluid equations by Gibbon et al. (1999) and the subsequent demonstration of finite-time blowup by Constantin (2006) we introduce a…
