We consider the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation on the one dimensional torus T = R/(2{\pi}Z). We prove a Unique Continuation Property (UCP) for small data in H^1(T) with nonnegative zero means. Next we extend the UCP to certain BBM-like…
We study the propagation of a compactly supported high-frequency wave through a semi-linear wave equation with a null structure. We prove that the self-interaction of the wave creates harmonics which remain close to the light-cone in the…

The celebrated geometric control condition of Bardos, Lebeau, and Rauch is necessary and sufficient for wave observability [1,7] and exact controllability. It requires that any point in phase-space be transported by the generalized geodesic…
We consider the propagation of waves in a waveguide with Neumann boundary conditions. We work at low wavenumber with only one propagating mode in the leads, all the other modes being evanescent. We assume that the waveguide is symmetric…
In this paper, we prove a uniqueness theorem for a system of semilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition in $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$. Suppose that two global solutions with $C_c^\infty$ initial data have equal initial data outside a…
We revisit the damped wave equation on two-dimensional torus where the damped region does not satisfy the geometric control condition. We show that if the damping vanishes as a H\"older function $|x|^{\beta}$, and in addition, the boundary…
We study two types of unique continuation properties for the higher order Schr\"{o}dinger equation with potential $$ i\partial_tu=(-\Delta_x)^mu+V(t,x)u,\quad(t,x)\in\mathbb{R}^{1+n},\,2\leq m\in\mathbb{N}_+. $$ The first one says if $u$…

A coupled system of semilinear wave equations is considered, and a small data global existence result related to the Strauss conjecture is proved. Previous results have shown that one of the powers may be reduced below the critical power…
We show the existence and uniqueness of solutions (either local or global for small data) for an equation arising in different aspects of surface growth. Following the work of Koch and Tataru we consider spaces critical with respect to…
