We extend the wave breaking condition in Seliger's work [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. Ser. A., 303 (1968)], which has been used widely to prove wave breaking phenomena for nonlinear nonlocal shallow water equations.
We prove wave breaking --- bounded solutions with unbounded derivatives --- in the nonlinear nonlocal equation which combines the dispersion relation of water waves and a nonlinearity of the shallow water equations, provided that the slope…

For models describing water waves, Constantin and Escher's works have long been considered as the cornerstone method for proving wave breaking phenomena. Their rigorous analytic proof shows that if the lowest slope of flows can be…
We show wave breaking for the Whitham equation in a range of fractional dispersion, i.e. the solution remains bounded but its slope becomes unbounded in finite time, provided that the initial datum is sufficiently steep.
This paper aims to give a refined wave breaking description of the Cauchy problem to the one-dimensional nonlinear shallow water equations providing a sharp estimate of the lifespan of the solutions depending on the amplitude and topography…
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…

We study the stability/instability of standing waves for the one dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with double power nonlinearities: \begin{align*} &i\partial_t u +\partial_x^2 u -|u|^{p-1}u +|u|^{q-1}u=0, \quad (t,x)\in…
