In this paper, we show that under certain conditions on the coefficients and initial values, solutions of two different Bernoulli initial-value problems are symmetric to each other either with respect to the t-axis, or the y-axis, or the…
In this note, we show that there exist solutions of the Muskat problem which shift stability regimes in the following sense: they start stable, then become unstable, and finally return back to the stable regime. This proves existence of…
We prove a global well-posedness result for the 2D Muskat problem with surface tension. Given any regular enough initial data which is small in some critical space but possibly large in Lipschitz, we prove that the associated Cauchy problem…
In recent times it has been paid attention to the fact that (linear) wave equations admit of "soliton-like" solutions, known as Localized Waves or Non-diffracting Waves, which propagate without distortion in one direction. Such Localized…

This article reviews the properties of the self-similar solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible fluids. Since any smooth solution can be embedded into a self-similar solution at the identity scale, it follows that under…
We survey the various constructions of forward self-similar solutions (and generalizations of self-similar solutions) to the Navier-Stokes equations. We also include and prove an extension of a recent result from [7].
Consider the equivariant wave map equation from Minkowski space to a rotationnally symmetric manifold which has an equator (example: the sphere). In dimension 3, this article gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a…
We consider the Muskat problem with surface tension for one fluid or two fluids, with or without viscosity jump, with infinite depth or Lipschitz rigid boundaries, and in arbitrary dimension $d$ of the interface. The problem is nonlocal,…
The boundary behavior of the singular Yamabe problem has been extensively studied near sufficiently smooth boundaries, while less is known about the asymptotic behavior of solutions near singular boundaries. In this paper, we study the…
We seek for self-similar solutions describing the time-dependent evolution of self-gravity systems with either spherical symmetry or axisymmetric disk geometry. By assuming self-similar variable $x\equiv r/at$ where $a$ is isothermal sound…
It is shown, for the self-consistent system of scalar, electro-magnetic and gravitational fields in general relativity, that the equations of motion admit a special kind of solutions with spherical or cylindrical symmetry. For these…
We prove the existence of infinitely many mixing solutions for the Muskat problem in the fully unstable regime displaying a linearly degraded macroscopic behaviour inside the mixing zone. In fact, we estimate the volume proportion of each…
Motion of curves and surfaces in $\R^3$ lead to nonlinear evolution equations which are often integrable. They are also intimately connected to the dynamics of spin chains in the continuum limit and integrable soliton systems through…
