We consider the initial-value problem for a one-dimensional wave equation with coefficients that are positive, constant outside of an interval, and have bounded variation (BV). Under the assumption of compact support of the initial data, we…

We study the damped wave equation with a damping coefficient which is possibly singular and unbounded at infinity. In general, zero belongs to the spectrum of the corresponding generator, which prevents a uniform (exponential) decay for the…

We prove the nonexistence of two-dimensional solitary gravity water waves with subcritical wave speeds and an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. This is a longstanding open problem, and even in the irrotational case there are only partial…

We prove local well-posedness for the gravity water waves equations without surface tension, with initial velocity field in $H^s$, $s > \frac{d}{2} + 1 - \mu$, where $\mu = \frac{1}{10}$ in the case $d = 1$ and $\mu = \frac{1}{5}$ in the…

It is easy to reason that gravity might be the effect of a fluid in disguise, as it will naturally arise in emergent gravity models where gravity is due to the effect of some fundamental particles, with the latter expected to behave…

We consider the spectra of the 2-dim gravity waves of finite depth linearized at a uniform monotonic shear flow $U(x_2)$, $x_2 \in (-h, 0)$, where the wave numbers $k$ of the horizontal variable $x_1$ is treated as a parameter. Our main…

This paper is a study of the water wave problem in a two-dimensional domain of infinite depth in the presence of nonzero constant vorticity. A goal is to describe the effects of uniform shear flow on the modulation of weakly nonlinear…
