The equations for a self-similar solution of an inviscid incompressible fluid are mapped into an integral equation which hopefully can be solved by iteration. It is argued that the exponent of the similarity are ruled by Kelvin's theorem of…

In this note, we investigate the stability of self-similar blow-up solutions for superconformal semilinear wave equations in all dimensions. A central aspect of our analysis is the spectral equivalence of the linearized operators under…
In this note we study locally self-similar blow up for the Euler equation. The main result states that under a mild $L^p$-growth assumption on the profile $v$, namely, $\int_{|y| \sim L} |v|^p dy \lesssim L^{\g}$ for some $\g <p-2$, the…
