The harmonic map heat flow is a geometric flow well known to produce solutions whose gradient blows up in finite time. A popular model for investigating the blow-up is the heat flow for maps $\mathbb R^{d}\to S^{d}$, restricted to…
We discuss the finite-time collapse, also referred as blow-up, of the solutions of a discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger (DNLS) equation incorporating linear and nonlinear gain and loss. This DNLS system appears in many inherently discrete…
For the energy critical focusing wave equation in three dimensions we establish the existence of blowup solutions via an "exotic" dynamical rescaling of the ground state solution W(x). The scaling law is not of the pure-power type, but…
We use ideal hydrodynamics to investigate clustering in a gas of inelastically colliding spheres. The hydrodynamic equations exhibit a new type of finite-time density blowup, where the gas pressure remains finite. The density blowups signal…
We consider the 1D cubic NLS on $\mathbb R$ and prove a blow-up result for functions that are of borderline regularity, i.e. $H^s$ for any $s<-\frac 12$ for the Sobolev scale and $\mathcal F L^\infty$ for the Fourier-Lebesgue scale. This is…
