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…

We prove the existence of equivariant finite time blow up solutions for the wave map problem from 2+1 dimensions into the 2-sphere. These solutions are the sum of a dynamically rescaled ground-state harmonic map plus a radiation term. The…

We prove that for any two closed Riemannian manifolds $M^{2m}$ ($m\geq 1$) and $N$, there exists a minimizing (extrinsic) $m$-polyharmonic map for every free homotopy class in $[M^{2m}, N]$, provided that the homotopy group $\pi_{2m}(N)$ is…

We examine a 2-dimensional ODE which exhibits explosion in finite time. Considered as an SDE with additive white noise, it is known to be complete - in the sense that for each initial condition there is almost surely no explosion.…

We construct a one parameter family of finite time blow ups to the co-rotational wave maps problem from $S^2\times \RR$ to $S^2,$ parameterized by $\nu\in(1/2,1].$ The longitudinal function $u(t,\alpha)$ which is the main object of study…

The aim of this article is to present a concise proof for the interior H\"{o}lder continuity of two-dimensional stationary Q-valued maps. The proof employs a blow-up argument based on the monotonicity formula for the frequency function,…

We define Type I singularities for the mean curvature flow associated to a density $\psi$ ($\psi$MCF) and describe the blow-up at singular time of these singularities. Special attention is paid to the case where the singularity come from…

Under mean curvature flow, a closed, embedded hypersurface $M(t)$ becomes singular in finite time. For certain classes of mean-convex mean curvature flows, we show the continuity of the first singular time $T$ and the limit set "$M(T)$",…

We generalize the no-neck result of Qing-Tian \cite{QT} to show that there is no neck during blowing up for the $n$-harmonic flow as $t\to\infty$. As an application of the no-neck result, we settle a conjecture of Hungerb\"uhler \cite…

In this paper, we study the energy critical 1-equivariant Landau-Lifschitz flow mapping $\mathbb{R}^2$ to $\mathbb{S}^2$ with arbitrary given coefficients $\rho_1\in \mathbb{R}$, $\rho_2>0$. We prove that there exists a codimension one…
