We prove global existence, uniqueness and stability of entropy solutions with $L^2\cap L^\infty$ initial data for a general family of negative order dispersive equations. It is further demonstrated that this solution concept extends in a…
For $2\X2$ systems of conservation laws satisfying Bakhvalov conditions, we present a class of damping terms that still yield the existence of global solutions with periodic initial data of possibly large bounded total variation per period.…
Extinction times in resampling processes are fundamental yet often intractable, as previous formulas scale as $2^M$ with the number of states $M$ present in the initial probability distribution. We solve this by treating multinomial updates…
We introduce a kinetic formulation for scalar conservation laws with nonlocal and nonlinear diffusion terms. We deal with merely L 1 initial data, general self-adjoint pure jump L{\'e}vy operators, and locally Lipschitz nonlinearities of…
This note is concerned with the study of the initial boundary value problem for systems of conservation laws from the point of view of control theory, where the initial data is fixed and the boundary data are regarded as control functions.…
Following an approach of the second author for conformally invariant variational problems in two dimensions, we show in four dimensions the existence of a conservation law for fourth order systems, which includes both intrinsic and…
The purpose of this paper is to study the phenomenon of singularity formation in large data problems for classical solutions to the Cauchy problem of the relativistic Euler equations. The classical theory established by P. D. Lax in 1964…
In this paper, we study the generalized Proudman-Johnson equation posed on the torus. In the critical regime where the parameter $a$ is close to and slightly greater than 1, we establish finite time blow-up of smooth solutions to the…
We test the chronology protection conjecture in classical general relativity by investigating finitely vicious space-times. First we present singularity theorems in finitely vicious space-times by imposing some restrictions on the…
In this paper we consider the nonexistence of global solutions of a Klein-Gordon equation of the form \begin{eqnarray*} u_{tt}-\Delta u+m^2u=f(u)& (t,x)\in [0,T)\times\R^n. \end{eqnarray*} Here $m\neq 0$ and the nonlinear power $f(u)$…
We extend recent existence and uniqueness results for maximal solutions of SPDEs through an improved blow-up criterion. Whilst the maximal time of existence is typically characterised by blow-up in the energy norm of solutions, we show…
We introduce a suitable concept of weak evolution in the context of the radial quintic focussing semilinear wave equation on $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}$, that is adapted to continuation past type II singularities. We show that the weak extension…
The 2d Boussinesq equations model large scale atmospheric and oceanic flows. Whether its solutions develop a singularity in finite-time remains a classical open problem in mathematical fluid dynamics. In this work, blowup from smooth…
We derive conditional a priori error estimates of a wide class of finite volume and Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin methods with abstract limiting for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in 1D via the verification of weak consistency…
In this paper using a Clifford bundle formalism we examine (a): the strong conditions for existence of conservation laws involving only the energy-momentum and angular momentum of the matter fields on a general Riemann-Cartan spacetime and…
We consider a genuinely nonlinear $1$-d system of hyperbolic conservation laws with two unknowns. A famous construction of Glimm & Lax shows that global-in-time "Glimm-Lax" weak entropy solutions exist in this setting for any initial data…
We prove, for the energy critcal, focusing NLW, that for Cauchy data (u_0, u_1) whose energy is smaller than that of (W,0), where W is the well-known radial positive solution to the corresponding ellipyic equation, the following dichotomy…
We consider solutions of the focusing cubic and quintic Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) hierarchies. We identify an observable corresponding to the average energy per particle, and we prove that it is a conserved quantity. We prove that all solutions…
The global well-posedness of the Boltzmann equation with initial data of large amplitude has remained a long-standing open problem. In this paper, by developing a new $L^\infty_xL^1_{v}\cap L^\infty_{x,v}$ approach, we prove the global…
The main goal of this paper is to show that the blow up phenomenon (the explosion of the $ \rL^{\infty }$-norm) of the solutions of several classes of evolution problems can be controlled by means of suitable global controls $\alpha (t)$…
