In this paper, we show the shock formation to the compressible Euler equations with time-dependent damping $\frac{a\p u}{(1+t)^{\lam}}$ in three spatial dimensions without any symmetry conditions. It's well-known that for $\lam>1$, the…

We study singularity formation for the focusing quadratic wave equation in the energy supercritical case, i.e., for $d \geq 7$. We find in closed form a new, non-trivial, radial, self-similar blowup solution $u^*$ which exists for all $d…
We consider energy-supercritical co-rotational wave maps from Minkowski spacetime to the sphere in odd spatial dimensions. The equation admits an explicit co-rotational self-similar blowup solution, which also induces solutions that blow up…
We consider the problem of 2D supersonic flow onto a solid wedge, or equivalently in a concave corner formed by two solid walls. For mild corners, there are two possible steady state solutions, one with a strong and one with a weak shock…
The effects arising from accelerated and decelerated motion of a point charge inside a medium are studied. The motion is manifestly relativistic and may be produced by a constant uniform electric field. It is shown that in addition to the…
In this paper we consider the equation for equivariant wave maps from $R^{3+1}$ to $S^3$ and we prove global in forward time existence of certain $C^\infty$-smooth solutions which have infinite critical Sobolev norm…
It is shown that fifth-order nonlinear dispersion equations from compacton theory admit shock and rarefaction waves. A self-similar gradient blow-up is shown to admit infinitely many similarity extensions beyond blow-up time, meaning…
We prove existence of spiral waves in oscillatory media with nonlocal coupling. Our starting point is a nonlocal complex Ginzburg-Landau (cGL) equation, rigorously derived as an amplitude equation for integro-differential equations…
We report on numerical simulations of critical phenomena near the threshold of black hole formation in the collapse of axisymmetric gravitational waves in vacuum. We discuss several new features of our numerical treatment, and then compare…
A large class of multidimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equations admit localized nonradial standing wave solutions that carry nonzero intrinsic angular momentum. Here we provide evidence that certain of these spinning excitations are…
In this paper, we prove the existence of self-similar algebraic spiral solutions for 2-D incompressible Euler equations for the initial vorticity of the form $|y|^{-\frac1\mu}\ \mathring{\omega}(\theta)$ with $\mu>\frac12$ and…
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the solution to the Euler equations with time-depending damping on quadrant $(x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^+\times\mathbb{R}^+$, \begin{equation}\notag \partial_t v - \partial_x u=0, \qquad…
We study the interaction of two counter-propagating electromagnetic waves in vacuum in the Born-Infeld electrodynamics. First we investigate the Born case for linearly polarized beams, ${\bf E}\cdot{\bf B}=0$, i. e. $\mathfrak{G}^2=0$…
Self-similar solution is obtained for propagation of a strong shock, in a flat expanding dusty Friedman universe. Approximate analytic solution was obtained earlier, using relation between self-similar variables, equivalent to the exact…
In this paper we rule out the possibility of asymptotically self-similar singularities for both of the 3D Euler and the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. The notion means that the local in time classical solutions of the equations develop…
We consider the blow-up of solutions to the following parameterized nonlinear wave equation: $ u_{tt} = c(u)^{2} u_{xx} + \lambda c(u)c'(u)( u_x)^2$ with the real parameter $\lambda$. In previous works, it was reported that there exist…
This study introduces novel, exact solutions to the scalar field Signum-Gordon equation that feature a discontinuity near the light cone. These solutions, applicable in higher spatial dimensions ($n > 1$), extend previous limitations to one…
In spherical symmetry compelling numerical evidence suggests that in general relativity solutions near the threshold of black hole formation exhibit critical behavior. One aspect of this is that threshold solutions themselves are…
We study scenarios of self-similar type blow-up for the incompressible Navier-Stokes and the Euler equations. The previous notions of the discretely (backward) self-similar solution and the asymptotically self-similar solution are…
