We study the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear wave equation with low-regularity data. A space-time $L^2$ estimate for the variable coefficient wave equation plays a central role for this purpose. Assuming radial symmetry, we establish the…
We investigate the variational structure of discrete Laplace-type equations that are motivated by discrete integrable quad-equations. In particular, we explain why the reality conditions we consider should be all that are reasonable, and we…
We consider discrete nonlinear hyperbolic equations on quad-graphs, in particular on the square lattice. The fields are associated to the vertices and an equation Q(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)=0 relates four fields at one quad. Integrability of…

In this article, we address the Cauchy problem for the KP-I equation \[\partial_t u + \partial_x^3 u -\partial_x^{-1}\partial_y^2u + u\partial_x u = 0\] for functions periodic in $y$. We prove global well-posedness of this problem for any…

In the context of integrable partial difference equations on quad-graphs, we introduce the notion of open boundary reductions as a new means to construct discrete integrable mappings and their invariants. This represents an alternative to…

A fully non-linear kinetic Boltzmann equation for anyons and large initial data is studied in a periodic 1d setting. Strong L1 solutions are obtained for the Cauchy problem. The main results concern global existence, uniqueness, and…
We discuss the ill-posed Cauchy problem for elliptic equations, which is pervasive in inverse boundary value problems modeled by elliptic equations. We provide essentially optimal stability results, in wide generality and under…
We point out that the initial-value (Cauchy) problem for self-interacting vector fields presents the same well-posedness issues as for first-order derivative self-interacting scalar fields (often referred to as $k$-essence). For the latter,…
In this paper, we study local well-posedness and orbital stability of standing waves for a singularly perturbed one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. We first establish local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem by a fixed point…
