A particularly simple model belonging to a wide class of coupled maps which obey a local conservation law is studied. The phase structure of the system and the types of the phase transitions are determined. It is argued that the structure…
We consider a general conservation law on the circle, in the presence of a sublinear damping. If the damping acts on the whole circle, then the solution becomes identically zero in finite time, following the same mechanism as the…
Categorical resolution of singularities has been constructed in arXiv:1212.6170. It proceeds by alternating two steps of seemingly different nature. We show how to use the formalism of filtered derived categories to combine the two steps…
In this paper we consider a system of equations that describes a class of mass-conserving aggregation phenomena, including gravitational collapse and bacterial chemotaxis. In spatial dimensions strictly larger than two, and under the…
In this paper we investigate a non-linear and non-local one dimensional transport equation under random perturbations on the real line. We first establish a local-in-time theory, i.e., existence, uniqueness and blow-up criterion for…
In 2010 Menon and Srinivasan published a conjecture for the statistical structure of solutions $\rho$ to scalar conservation laws with certain Markov initial conditions, proposing a kinetic equation that should suffice to describe…
To understand the formations of singularities of the Euler-Poisson system with vacuum, we revisit Makino's star model in this article. We first remedy, to some extent, the inconveniences of Makino's star model and remove its imposed…
We critically analyse the point of view for which laws of nature are just a mean to compress data. Discussing some basic notions of dynamical systems and information theory, we show that the idea that the analysis of large amount of data by…
In this paper, we will consider the $L^2$-critical fractional Schr\"odinger equation $iu_t-|D|^{\beta}u+|u|^{2\beta}u=0$ with initial data $u_0\in H^{\beta/2}(\mathbb{R})$ and $\beta$ close to $2$. We will show that the solution blows up in…
The information loss and remnant proposals for resolving the black hole information paradox are reconsidered. It is argued that in typical cases information loss implies energy loss, and thus can be thought of in terms of coupling to a…
In this paper we consider the long time behavior of solutions of the initial value problem for the damped wave equation of the form \begin{eqnarray*} u_{tt}-\rho(x)^{-1}\Delta u+u_t+m^2u=f(u) \end{eqnarray*} with some $\rho(x)$ and $f(u)$…
We consider the semilinear heat equation, to which we add a nonlinear gradient term, with a critical power. We construct a solution which blows up in finite time. We also give a sharp description of its blow-up profile. The proof relies on…
For the spatially inhomogeneous, non-cutoff Boltzmann equation posed in the whole space $\mathbb R^3_x$, we establish pointwise lower bounds that appear instantaneously even if the initial data contains vacuum regions. Our lower bounds…
In this paper, we study the initial value problem of a Boltzmann type equation with a nonlinear degenerate damping. We prove the existence of global weak solutions with large initial data, in three dimensional space. We rely on a variant…
We prove global existence of solutions of a loglog energy-supercritical Klein-Gordon equation for n=3,4,5. Assuming that blow-up occurs at a time of maximal existence, we perform an analysis close to this time in order to find a finite…
We consider conservation laws with nonlocal velocity and show for nonlocal weights of exponential type that the unique solutions converge in a weak or strong sense (dependent on the regularity of the velocity) to the entropy solution of the…
We introduce a new quantity, that we term recoverable information, defined for stabilizer Hamiltonians. For such models, the recoverable information provides a measure of the topological information, as well as a physical interpretation,…
The analysis of non-local regularisations of scalar conservation laws is an active research program. Applications of such equations are found in the modelling of physical phenomena such as traffic flow. In this paper, we propose a novel…
The compact finite difference method is a powerful tool for discretizing conservation laws, owing to its inherent flexibility in developing high-resolution and highly stable schemes. In this paper, we propose a framework for the design of…
We discuss universality properties of blow-up of a classical (smooth) solutions of conservation laws in one space dimension. It is shown that the renormalized wave profile tends to a universal function, which is independent both of initial…
