We study the solitary waves of fractional Korteweg-de Vries type equations, that are related to the $1$-dimensional semi-linear fractional equations: \begin{align*} \vert D \vert^\alpha u + u -f(u)=0, \end{align*} with $\alpha\in (0,2)$, a…

We prove that in three space dimensions a nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u = u^p$ with $p\geq 7$ being an odd integer has a countable family of regular spherically symmetric self-similar solutions.

In classical continuum physics, a wave is a mechanical disturbance. Whether the disturbance is stationary or traveling and whether it is caused by the motion of atoms and molecules or the vibration of a lattice structure, a wave can be…

In this paper, we are concerned with the study of stabilization problem for the following strongly degenerate wave equation in one space dimension $$w_{tt}(x,t)-\left(x^\alpha w_x(x,t)\right)_x=0$$ where ${\bf\alpha\in [1,2)}$. Thus, using…

We establish both the existence and uniqueness of non-negative global solutions for the nonlinear heat equation $u_t-\Delta u=|x|^{-\gamma}\,u^q$, $0<q<1$, $\gamma>0$ in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$, and for non-negative initial data…
