We establish unique continuation for various discrete nonlinear wave equations. For example, we show that if two solutions of the Toda lattice coincide for one lattice point in some arbitrarily small time interval, then they coincide…

The current paper is devoted to the scattering theory of a class of continuum Schr\"{o}dinger operators with deterministic sparse potentials. We first establish the limiting absorption principle for both modified free resolvents and…

Two essential shortcomings of the axiomatics of wave mechanics are revealed, which make its consistent interpretation impossible. The first is that the standard formulation of the superposition principle contradicts the exact solutions of…

Formally second-order correct, mathematical descriptions of long-crested water waves propagating mainly in one direction are derived. These equations are analogous to the first-order approximations of KdV- or BBM-type. The advantage of…

We prove that the only global strong solution of the periodic rod equation vanishing in at least one point $(t_0,x_0)$ is the identically zero solution. Such conclusion holds provided the physical parameter $\gamma$ of the model (related to…

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for semi-linear wave equations with structural damping term $\nu (-\Delta)^2 u_t$, where $\nu >0$ is a constant. As being mentioned in [8,10], the linear principal part brings both the diffusion…

We give simple conditions implying the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the propagation of classical scalar fields in general (n+2)-dimensional static and spherically symmetric spacetimes. They are related to properties of the…

Vortex singularities in speckle patterns formed from random superpositions of waves are an inevitable consequence of destructive interference and are consequently generic and ubiquitous. Singularities are topologically stable, meaning they…

In this paper, we study the exact controllability and stabilization of a system of two wave equations coupled by velocities with an internal, local control acting on only one equation. We distinguish two cases. In the first one, when the…

We derive the unique continuation property of a class of semi-linear elliptic equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. The simplest type of equations to which our results apply is given as $-\Delta u = |u|^{\sigma-1} u$ in a domain…
