We consider the critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation $i{u}_t=-\Delta u-{\left|u\right|}^{\frac{4}{N}}u$ with initial condition $u(0,x)=u_0$ in dimension $N$. For $u_0\in H^1$, local existence in time of solutions on an interval $[0,T)$ is known, and there exists finite time blow up solutions, that is $u_0$ such that ${lim}_{t\to T\<+\infty }{\left|u_x\left(t\right)\right|}_{L^2}=+\infty$. This is the smallest power in the nonlinearity for which blow up occurs, and is critical in this sense. The question we address is to understand the blow up dynamic. Even though there exists an explicit example of blow up solution and a class of initial data...

This note summarizes the results obtained in []. We exhibit stable finite time blow up regimes for the energy critical co-rotational Wave Map with the ${𝕊}^2$ target in all homotopy classes and for the equivariant critical $SO\left(4\right)$ Yang-Mills problem. We derive sharp asymptotics on the dynamics at blow up time and prove quantization of the energy focused at the singularity.

These notes present the main results of [, , ] concerning the mass critical (gKdV) equation $u_t+{(u_{xx}+u^5)}_x=0$ for initial data in $H^1$ close to the soliton. These works revisit the blow up phenomenon close to the family of solitons in several directions: definition of the stable blow up and classification of all possible behaviors in a suitable functional setting, description of the minimal mass blow up in $H^1$, construction of various exotic blow up rates in $H^1$, including grow up in infinite time.

We consider the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations $i{\partial }_{t}u+\Delta u+u{\left|u\right|}^{p-1}=0$. We prove the existence of two finite time blow up dynamics in the supercritical case and provide for each a qualitative description of the singularity formation near the blow up time.

We consider the mass critical (gKdV) equation $u_t+{(u_{xx}+u^5)}_x=0$ for initial data in $H^1$. We first prove the existence and uniqueness in the energy space of a minimal mass blow up solution and give a sharp description of the corresponding blow up soliton-like bubble. We then show that this solution is the universal attractor of all solutions near the ground state which have a defocusing behavior. This allows us to sharpen the description of near soliton dynamics obtained in [29].

We investigate here the central limit theorem of the increment ratio statistic of a multifractional Brownian motion, leading to a CLT for the time varying Hurst index. The proofs are quite simple relying on Breuer–Major theorems and an original strategy. A simulation study shows the goodness of fit of this estimator.
