Evolution by the vortex filament equation of curves with a corner

Valeria Banica (2013)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

In this proceedings article we shall survey a series of results on the stability of self-similar solutions of the vortex filament equation. This equation is a geometric flow for curves in 3 and it is used as a model for the evolution of a vortex filament in fluid mechanics. The main theorem give, under suitable assumptions, the existence and description of solutions generated by curves with a corner, for positive and negative times. Its companion theorem describes the evolution of perturbations...

Focusing of a pulse with arbitrary phase shift for a nonlinear wave equation

Rémi Carles, David Lannes (2003)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We consider a system of two linear conservative wave equations, with a nonlinear coupling, in space dimension three. Spherical pulse like initial data cause focusing at the origin in the limit of short wavelength. Because the equations are conservative, the caustic crossing is not trivial, and we analyze it for particular initial data. It turns out that the phase shift between the incoming wave (before the focus) and the outgoing wave (past the focus) behaves like ln ε , where ε stands for the wavelength....

Generalized Backscattering and the Lax-Phillips Transform

Melrose, Richard, Uhlmann, Gunther (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35P25, 35R30, 58J50.Using the free-space translation representation (modified Radon transform) of Lax and Phillips in odd dimensions, it is shown that the generalized backscattering transform (so outgoing angle w = Sq in terms of the incoming angle with S orthogonal and Id-S invertible) may be further restricted to give an entire, globally Fredholm, operator on appropriate Sobolev spaces of potentials with compact support. As a corollary we show that the...

Global solutions of quasilinear systems of Klein–Gordon equations in 3D

Alexandru D. Ionescu, Benoît Pausader (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove small data global existence and scattering for quasilinear systems of Klein-Gordon equations with different speeds, in dimension three. As an application, we obtain a robust global stability result for the Euler-Maxwell equations for electrons.
