In this work, we investigate the regularization mechanisms of the Schr\"odinger equation with a spatial potential $$ i\partial_t u+\Delta u+\eta u =0, $$ where $\eta$ denotes a given spatial potential. The regularity of solutions…
We address the question whether a singularity in a three-dimensional incompressible inviscid fluid flow can occur in finite time. Analytical considerations and numerical simulations suggest high-symmetry flows being a promising candidate…
This paper is concerned with the small smooth data problem for the 3-D nonlinear wave equation $\partial_t^2u-\left (1+u+\p_t u\right)\Delta u=0$. This equation is prototypical of the more general equation $\dsize\sum_{i,j=0}^3g_{ij}(u,…
