We establish a simple and explicit criterion for wave breaking for a general class of perturbed Burgers equations that cover several Burgers-type models, including the Fractional KdV equation, the Whitham equation, and the Fornberg-Whitham…
This paper considers a class of non-local equations that are weakly dispersive perturbations of the inviscid Burgers equation, which includes the Fornberg-Whitham equation as a special case. We precise the known results on finite time…
We prove wave breaking --- bounded solutions with unbounded derivatives --- in the nonlinear nonlocal equation which combines the dispersion relation of water waves and a nonlinearity of the shallow water equations, provided that the slope…
We show wave breaking for the Whitham equation in a range of fractional dispersion, i.e. the solution remains bounded but its slope becomes unbounded in finite time, provided that the initial datum is sufficiently steep.
We consider the generalized Fornberg-Whitham equation. We study sufficient conditions for blow-up of solutions and show the global existence with small initial data. Also we give some relations to the Burgers equation.
Spatially periodic solutions of the Fornberg-Whitham equation are studied to illustrate the mechanism of wave breaking and the formation of shocks for a large class of initial data. We show that these solutions can be considered to be weak…
This paper aims to show that the Cauchy problem of the Burgers equation with a weakly dispersive perturbation involving the Bessel potential (generalization of the Fornberg-Whitham equation) can exhibit wave breaking for initial data with…

Based on recent well-posedness results in Sobolev (or Besov spaces) for periodic solutions to the Fornberg-Whitham equations we investigate here the questions of wave breaking and blow-up for these solutions. We show first that finite…

Sufficient conditions for wave breaking are found for the short-pulse equation describing wave packets of few cycles on the ultra-short pulse scale. The analysis relies on the method of characteristics and conserved quantities of the…
We extend the wave breaking condition in Seliger's work [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. Ser. A., 303 (1968)], which has been used widely to prove wave breaking phenomena for nonlinear nonlocal shallow water equations.
We discuss the problem of breaking of a nonlinear wave in the process of its propagation into a medium at rest. It is supposed that the profile of the wave is described at the breaking moment by the function $(-x)^{1/n}$ ($x<0$, positive…
We discuss concepts and review results about the Cauchy problem for the Fornberg-Whitham equation, which has also been called Burgers-Poisson equation in the literature. Our focus is on a comparison of various strong and weak solution…
We provide a detailed numerical study of various issues pertaining to the dynamics of the Burgers equation perturbed by a weak dispersive term: blow-up in finite time versus global existence, nature of the blow-up, existence for "long"…
We modify the nonlinear shallow water equations, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the Whitham equation, to permit constant vorticity, and examine wave breaking, or the lack thereof. By wave breaking, we mean that the solution remains…
We consider in this paper modified fractional Korteweg-de Vries and related equations (modified Burgers-Hilbert and Whitham). They have the advantage with respect to the usual fractional KdV equation to have a defocusing case with a…
It is shown that the generalized discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation can be reduced in a small amplitude approximation to the KdV, mKdV, KdV(2) or the fifth-order KdV equations, depending on values of the parameters. In dispersionless…
Original Whitham's method of derivation of modulation equations is applied to systems whose dynamics is described by a perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation. Two situations are distinguished: (i) the perturbation leads to appearance of…
We study the perturbed Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation. This equation can be used for the description of nonlinear waves in a liquid with gas bubbles and for the description of nonlinear waves on a fluid layer flowing down an inclined…
