We modify the nonlinear shallow water equations, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the Whitham equation, to permit constant vorticity, and examine wave breaking, or the lack thereof. By wave breaking, we mean that the solution remains…

A fractional time derivative is introduced into the Burger's equation to model losses of nonlinear waves. This term amounts to a time convolution product, which greatly penalizes the numerical modeling. A diffusive representation of the…

In multiple-front solutions of the Burgers equation, all the fronts, except for two, are generated through the inelastic interaction of exponential wave solutions of the Lax pair associated with the equation. The inelastically generated…
The Whitham equation was proposed as a model for surface water waves that combines the quadratic flux nonlinearity $f(u) = \tfrac{1}{2}u^2$ of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and the full linear dispersion relation $\Omega(k) = \sqrt{k\tanh…
The KdV-Burgers equation is a canonical model describing the interplay between nonlinearity, viscosity and dispersion, and it admits viscous-dispersive shocks as traveling wave solutions. In this paper, we establish an $L^2$-contraction…

Persistence problems in weighted spaces have been studied for different dispersive models involving non-local operators. Generally, these models do not propagate polynomial weights of arbitrary magnitude, and the maximum decay rate is…

We consider the Burgers equation on $H=L^2(0,1)$ perturbed by white noise and the corresponding transition semigroup $P_t$. We prove a new formula for $P_tD\varphi$ (where $\varphi:H\to\R$ is bounded and Borel) which depends on $\varphi$…
