We consider the half-wave equation $i u_t=Du-|u|^{\frac{2}{3}}u$ in three dimension and in the mass critical. For initial data $u(t_0,x)=u_0(x)\in H^{1/2}_{rad}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with radial symmetry, we construct a new class of minimal mass…

This work concerns the semilinear wave equation in three space dimensions with a power-like nonlinearity which is greater than cubic, and not quintic (i.e. not energy-critical). We prove that a scale-invariant Sobolev norm of any…
We propose a multi-model formulation of full-waveform inversion that is similar to image decomposition into a "cartoon" and "texture" used in image processing. Inversion problem is formulated as unconstrained multi-norm optimization that…

We consider the defocusing nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u + |u|^p u=0$ in the energy-supercritical regime p>4. For even values of the power p, we show that blowup (or failure to scatter) must be accompanied by blowup of the…
In this article, we consider the damped wave equation in the \textit{scale-invariant case} with time-dependent speed of propagation, mass term and time derivative nonlinearity. More precisely, we study the blow-up of the solutions to the…

We discuss universality properties of blow-up of a classical (smooth) solutions of conservation laws in one space dimension. It is shown that the renormalized wave profile tends to a universal function, which is independent both of initial…
We consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $iu_t=-\Delta u-|u|^{p-1}u$ in dimension $N\geq 3$ in the $L^2$ super critical range $1+\frac{4}{N}<p<\frac{N+2}{N-2}$. The corresponding scaling invariant space is $\dot{H}^{s_c}$ with…

We construct a two-parameter continuum of type II blow up solutions for the energy-critical focusing NLS in dimension $ d = 3$. The solutions collapse to a single energy bubble in finite time, precisely they have the form $ u(t,x) = e^{i…

In this paper, we study a semilinear weakly coupled system of wave equations with power nonlinearities. More precisely, we couple (through the nonlinear terms) a wave equation and a damped wave equation with a time-dependent coefficient for…
In this paper, we obtain a blow-up result for solutions to a semi-linear wave equation with scale-invariant dissipation and mass and power non-linearity, in the case in which the model has a "wave like" behavior. In order to achieve this…
