We construct a two-parameter family of explicit solutions to the cubic wave equation on $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$. Depending on the value of the parameters, these solutions either scatter to linear, blow-up in finite time, or exhibit a new type of…
The nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-c(u)(c(u)u_x)_x=0$ determines a flow of conservative solutions taking values in the space $H^1(\mathbb{R})$. However, this flow is not continuous w.r.t. the natural $H^1$ distance. Aim of this paper is to…

Main purpose of this paper is to study the following semi-linear structurally damped wave equation with nonlinearity of derivative type: $$u_{tt}- \Delta u+ \mu(-\Delta)^{\sigma/2} u_t= |u_t|^p,\quad u(0,x)= u_0(x),\quad u_t(0,x)=u_1(x),$$…

It is well-known that by requiring solutions of the Camassa--Holm equation to satisfy a particular local conservation law for the energy in the weak sense, one obtains what is known as conservative solutions. As conservative solutions…
The main results of the present paper consist in some quantitative estimates for solutions to the wave equation $\partial^2_{t}u-\mbox{div}\left(A(x)\nabla_x u\right)=0$. Such estimates imply the following strong unique continuation…
We study the macroscopic limit of a chain of atoms governed by the Newton equation. It is known from the work of Blanc, Le Bris, Lions, that this limit is the solution of a nonlinear wave equation, as long as this solution remains smooth.…
We are concerned with travelling wave solutions arising in a reaction diffusion equation with bistable and nonlocal nonlinearity, for which the comparison principle does not hold. Stability of the equilibrium $u\equiv 1$ is not assumed. We…

We describe traveling waves in a basic model for three-dimensional water-wave dynamics in the weakly nonlinear long-wave regime. Small solutions that are periodic in the direction of translation (or orthogonal to it) form an…
We consider the critical focusing wave equation $(-\partial_t^2+\Delta)u+u^5=0$ in $\R^{1+3}$ and prove the existence of energy class solutions which are of the form [u(t,x)=t^\frac{\mu}{2}W(t^\mu x)+\eta(t,x)] in the forward lightcone…
Motivated by the viewpoint of integrable systems, we study commuting flows of 2-component quasilinear equations, reducing to investigate the solutions of the wave equation with non-constant speed. In this paper, we apply the reduction…
Wavefunction collapse is usually seen as a discontinuous violation of the unitary evolution of a quantum system, caused by the observation. Moreover, the collapse appears to be nonlocal in a sense which seems at odds with General…
The behaviour of internal waves propagating in a background shear flow is studied in the case where the direction of shear is orthogonal to gravity. Ray-tracing theory is used to predict properties of the wave state at locations where…
