We consider wave maps on $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski space. For each dimension $d\geq 8$ we construct a negatively curved, $d$-dimensional target manifold that allows for the existence of a self-similar wave map which provides a stable…

We study the wave equation on a bounded domain of $\mathbb R^m$ and on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary. We assume that the coefficients of the wave equation are unknown but that we are given the hyperbolic…

We construct a black hole initial data for the Einstein equations with prescribed scalar curvature, or more precisely a piece of initial data contained inside the black hole. The constraints translate into a parabolic equation, with radius…

In this article we initiate the study of 1+ 2 dimensional wave maps on a curved spacetime in the low regularity setting. Our main result asserts that in this context the wave maps equation is locally well-posed at almost critical…

In this paper we continue the analysis of equivariant wave maps from 2-dimensional hyperbolic space into surfaces of revolution that was initiated in [13, 14]. When the target is the hyperbolic plane we proved in [13] the existence and…

This brief note wants to bring to attention that the formulation of physically reasonable initial-boundary value problems for wave equations in Lorentzian space-times is not unique, i.e., that there are inequivalent such formulations that…

In this article we derive C^1-a priori estimates on the Riemann invariants of the Euler compressible equations in the case of cylindrical or spherical symmetry. These estimates allow then to construct shock waves with a time of existence…

We consider wave scattering from a system of highly contrasting resonators with time-modulated material parameters. In this setting, the wave equation reduces to a system of coupled Helmholtz equations that models the scattering problem. We…

We study the semilinear wave equation in Schwarzschild metric (3+1 dimensional space--time). First, we establish that the problem is locally well--posed in $\cs H^\sigma$ for any $\sigma \geq 1$; then we prove the blow up of the solution…

We analyze the size limits of coupled map lattices with diffusive coupling at the crossover of low-dimensional to high-dimensional chaos. We investigate the existence of standing-wave-type periodic patterns, within the low-dimensional…

A numerical solution to the problem of wave scattering by many small particles is studied under the assumption k<<1, d>>a, where a is the size of the particles and d is the distance between the neighboring particles. Impedance boundary…

We investigate the interaction of two oncoming shock waves in spherical symmetry for an ideal barotropic fluid. Our research problem is how to establish a local in time solution after the interaction point and determine the state behind the…

We are concerned with hyperbolic systems of order-one linear PDEs originated on non-characteristic manifolds. We put forward a simple but effective method of transforming such initial conditions to standard initial conditions (i.e. when the…
