We study the blow-up dynamics for the energy-critical 1-corotational wave maps problem with 2-sphere target. In arXiv:0911.0692, Rapha\"el and Rodnianski exhibited a stable finite time blow-up dynamics arising from smooth initial data. In…

Due to the space and time dependence of the wave function in the time dependent Schroedinger equation, different boundary conditions are possible. The equation is usually solved as an ``initial value problem'', by fixing the value of the…
