We study the 2D isentropic Euler equations with the ideal gas law. We exhibit a set of smooth initial data that give rise to shock formation at a single point near the planar symmetry. These solutions are associated with non-zero vorticity…

We study finite-time blow-up for the one-dimensional nonlinear wave equation with a quadratic time-derivative nonlinearity, \[ u_{tt}-u_{xx}=(u_t)^2,\qquad (x,t)\in\mathbb R\times[0,T). \] Building on the work of Ghoul, Liu, and Masmoudi…

This paper provides an asymptotic description of a solution to the Burgers-Hilbert equation in a neighborhood of a point where two shocks interact. The solution is obtained as the sum of a function with $H^2$ regularity away from the shocks…

We consider the 1D cubic NLS on $\mathbb R$ and prove a blow-up result for functions that are of borderline regularity, i.e. $H^s$ for any $s<-\frac 12$ for the Sobolev scale and $\mathcal F L^\infty$ for the Fourier-Lebesgue scale. This is…

We study singularity formation in two one-dimensional nonlinear wave models with quadratic time-derivative nonlinearities. The non-null model violates the null condition and typically develops finite-time blow-up; the null-form model is…
