Inspired by the all-important conformal invariance of harmonic maps on two-dimensional domains, this article studies the relationship between biharmonicity and conformality. We first give a characterization of biharmonic morphisms,…
The existing paradox between theory and computational experiment for weak solutions of systems of conservation laws in higher space dimensions is arguably resolved. Apparently successful computations are identified with underlying…
In this paper, we study the evolution of smooth, closed planar curves under a fourth order biharmonic flow with an external forcing term. Such flows arise naturally in the theory of biharmonic maps and geometric variational problems…
We study the nonlinear wave equation for arbitrary function with fourth order dissipation. A special case that is analysed exclusively is the model of nerve membranes; we consider this model, both, in the presence and absence of the fourth…
In this work we present a nonlocal conservation law with a velocity depending on an integral term over a part of the space. The model class covers already existing models in literature, but it is also able to describe new dynamics mainly…
This paper is concerned with one-dimensional 2 x 2 systems of conservation laws with a flux f=f(x, U) that is discontinuous with respect to the spatial variable. No monotonicity assumption is imposed on the mapping x \to f(x,U). We…
We prove the existence of a weak solution to a two-dimensional resonant 3x3 system of conservation laws with BV initial data. Due to possible resonance (coinciding eigenvalues), spatial BV estimates are in general not available. Instead, we…
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 address the Riemann and Cauchy problems for systems of $n$ conservation laws in $m$ unknowns which are subject to $m-n$ constraints ($m\geq n$). Such constrained systems generalize systems of conservation laws in standard form to include…
I consider the existence and structure of conservation laws for the general class of evolutionary scalar second-order differential equations with parabolic symbol. First I calculate the linearized characteristic cohomology for such…
A common feature of systems of conservation laws of continuum physics is that they are endowed with natural companion laws which are in such case most often related to the second law of thermodynamics. This observation easily generalizes to…
In this paper, we show that for certain initial values, the (extrinsic) biharmonic map flow in dimension four must blow up in finite time.
In this paper we explore the general conditions in order that a 2-dimensional natural Hamiltonian system possess a second invariant which is a polynomial in the momenta and is therefore Liouville integrable. We examine the possibility that…
We analyze a category of problems that is of interest in many physical situations, including those encountered in introductory physics classes: systems with two well-delineated parts that exchange energy, eventually reaching a shared…
In this note, we refine the local conservation law obtained by Lamm-Rivi\`ere for fourth order systems and de Longueville-Gastel for general even order systems to a global conservation law.
High-order accurate, $\textit{entropy stable}$ numerical methods for hyperbolic conservation laws have attracted much interest over the last decade, but only a few rigorous convergence results are available, particularly in multiple space…
Two-dimensional driven dissipative flows are generally integrable via a conservation law that is singular at equilibria. Nonintegrable dynamical systems are confined to n*3 dimensions. Even driven-dissipative deterministic dynamical systems…
For a system of partial differential equations that has an extended Kovalevskaya form, a reduction procedure is presented that allows one to use a local (point, contact, or higher) symmetry of a system and a symmetry-invariant conservation…
Symmetries and conservation laws are studied for two classes of physically and analytically interesting radial wave equations with power nonlinearities in multi-dimensions. The results consist of two main classifications: all symmetries of…
