The ultra-relativistic Euler equations for an ideal gas are described in terms of the pressure, the spatial part of the dimensionless four-velocity and the particle density. Radially symmetric solutions of these equations are studied in two…
Four-dimensional spacetimes foliated by a two-parameter family of homologous two-surfaces are considered in Einstein's theory of gravity. By combining a 1+(1+2) decomposition, the canonical form of the spacetime metric and a suitable…
In an influential 1964 article, P. Lax studied $2 \times 2$ genuinely nonlinear strictly hyperbolic PDE systems (in one spatial dimension). Using the method of Riemann invariants, he showed that a large set of smooth initial data lead to…
Singular solutions of the harmonic Einstein evolution equation are constructed which are related to spatially global and time-local solutions for a certain class of quasilinear hyperbolic systems of second order. The constructed…
In Part II of this sequence to our previous paper for the 3-dimensional Euler equations \cite{zhang2022potential}, we investigate potential singularity of the $n$-diemnsional axisymmetric Euler equations with $C^\alpha$ initial vorticity…
We consider the 3D isentropic compressible Euler equations with the ideal gas law. We provide a constructive proof of shock formation from smooth initial datum of finite energy, with no vacuum regions, with nontrivial vorticity present at…
Although the traditional form of the Einstein field equations is intrinsically four-dimensional, the field of numerical general relativity focuses on the reformulation of these equations as a 3 + 1-dimensional Cauchy problem, in which…
It is well-known that shock will form in finite time for hyperbolic conservation laws from initial nonlinear compression no matter how small and smooth the data are. Classical results, including Lax [14], Liu [22], Li-Zhou-Kong [16],…
In this paper, we consider the compressible Euler equations with time-dependent damping \frac{\a}{(1+t)^\lambda}u in one space dimension. By constructing 'decoupled' Riccati type equations for smooth solutions, we provide some sufficient…
The general problem of shock formation in three space dimensions was solved by D. Christodoulou in his 2007 monograph: 'The Formation of Shocks in 3-dimensional Fluids'. In this work also a complete description of the maximal development of…
We are concerned with the global existence theory for spherically symmetric solutions of the multidimensional compressible Euler equations with large initial data of positive far-field density. The central feature of the solutions is the…
In this work we systematically derive the governing equations of supersonic conical flow by projecting the 3D Euler equations onto the unit sphere. These equations result from taking the assumption of conical invariance on the 3D flow…
We are concerned with geometric properties of transonic shocks as free boundaries in two-dimensional self-similar coordinates for compressible fluid flows, which are not only important for the understanding of geometric structure and…
This paper is the second part of a trilogy dedicated to the following problem: given spherically symmetric characteristic initial data for the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field system with a cosmological constant $\Lambda$, with the data on the…
The motion of a compressible inviscid radiative flow can be described by the radiative Euler equations, which consists of the Euler system coupled with a Poisson equation for the radiative heat flux through the energy equation. Although…
We consider the 2D isentropic compressible Euler equations, with pressure law $p(\rho) = (\sfrac{1}{\gamma}) \rho^\gamma$, with $\gamma >1$. We provide an elementary constructive proof of shock formation from smooth initial datum of finite…
We are concerned with spherically symmetric solutions of the Euler equations for multidimensional compressible fluids, which are motivated by many important physical situations. Various evidences indicate that spherically symmetric…
We study the Euler characteristic of a hypersurface in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2 \times (\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ defined by a polynomial whose monomial support corresponds to lattice points in $\Delta_1 \times \Delta_1 \times \Delta_n$ as the coefficients…
We describe a high-order ADER-DG solver for the compressible Euler equations within the ExaHyPE framework. The implementation combines a high-order ADER-DG polynomial representation, a local space-time DG predictor, adaptive mesh…
The notion of maximal extension of a globally hyperbolic space-time arises from the notion of maximal solutions of the Cauchy problem associated to the Einstein's equations of general relativity. In 1969 Choquet-Bruhat and Geroch proved…
