We construct finite energy blow-up solutions for the radial self-dual Chern-Simons-Schr\"odinger equation with a continuum of blow-up rates. Our result stands in stark contrast to the rigidity of blow-up of $H^{3}$ solutions proved by the…
This is an expository article that describes the spectral-theoretic aspects in the study of the stability of self-similar blowup for nonlinear wave equations. The linearization near a self-similar solution leads to a genuinely…
The existence of weak solutions and upper bounds for the blow-up time for time-discrete parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel models for chemotaxis in the two-dimensional whole space are proved. For various time discretizations, including the…
We consider shell models that display an inverse energy cascade similar to 2-dimensional turbulence (together with a direct cascade of an enstrophy-like invariant). Previous attempts to construct such models ended negatively, stating that…
We consider the mass supercritical (NLS) in dimension $d\ge 1$ in the mass-supercritical range. The existence of self-similar blow up dyamics is known [Merle-Rapha\"el-Szeftel, 2010], and suitable self-similar blow up profiles were…
We consider co-rotational wave maps from (1+3)-dimensional Minkowski space into the three-sphere. This model exhibits an explicit blowup solution and we prove the asymptotic nonlinear stability of this solution in the whole space under…
We show that the 1D Hou-Luo model on the real line admits exact self-similar finite-time blowup solutions with smooth self-similar profiles. The existence of these profiles is established via a fixed-point method that is purely analytic. We…
We prove finite time blowup of the Burgers-Hilbert equation. We construct smooth initial data with finite $H^5$-norm such that the $L^\infty$-norm of the spacial derivative of the solution blows up. The blowup is an asymptotic self-similar…
We consider the 1D cubic NLS on $\mathbb R$ and prove a blow-up result for functions that are of borderline regularity, i.e. $H^s$ for any $s<-\frac 12$ for the Sobolev scale and $\mathcal F L^\infty$ for the Fourier-Lebesgue scale. This is…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the linear wave equation on cosmological spacetimes with Big Bang singularities and show that appropriately rescaled waves converge against a blow-up profile. Our class of spacetimes…
We classify the finite time blow-up profiles for the following reaction-diffusion equation with unbounded weight: $$ \partial_tu=\Delta u^m+|x|^{\sigma}u^p, $$ posed in any space dimension $x\in\mathbf{R}^N$, $t\geq0$ and with exponents…
We demonstrate finite-time blow-up in a simple, realistic shell model of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations, equipped with "smooth" (i.e., rapidly decaying in frequency) initial data and forcing. Previously studied models either exhibit a…
This paper is concerned with finite blow-up solutions of the heat equation with nonlinear boundary conditions. It is known that a rate of blow-up solutions is the same as the self-similar rate for a Sobolev subcritical case. A goal of this…
Since Kolmogorov proposed his phenomenological theory of hydrodynamic turbulence in 1941, the description of mechanism leading to the energy cascade and anomalous scaling remains an open problem in fluid mechanics. Soon after, in 1949…
This paper deals with blow-up for the complex-valued semilinear wave equation with power nonlinearity in dimension 1. Up to a rotation of the solution in the complex plane, we show that near a characteristic blow-up point, the solution…
As the main problem, the bi-Laplace equation $\Delta^2u=0 (\Delta=D_x^2+D_y^2)$ in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \re^2$, with inhomogeneous Dirichlet or Navier-type conditions on the smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$ is considered. In…
We consider hypothetical solutions of 3D Euler which blow up in finite time in a self-similar fashion. We prove that if the initial data has finite kinetic energy, then the similarity exponent $\gamma$ which governs the rate of zooming in…
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…
We consider the energy critical four dimensional semi linear heat equation \partial tu-\Deltau-u3 = 0. We show the existence of type II finite time blow up solutions and give a sharp description of the corresponding singularity formation.…
