On bilinear estimates for wave equations

Sergiù Klainerman, Damiano Foschi (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

I will start with a short review of the classical restriction theorem for the sphere and Strichartz estimates for the wave equation. I then plan to give a detailed presentation of their recent generalizations in the form of “Bilinear Estimates”. In addition to the L 2 theory, which is now quite well developed, I plan to discuss a more general point of view concerning the L p theory. By investigating simple examples I will derive necessary conditions for such estimates to be true. I also...

Shoaling of nonlinear steady waves: maximum height and angle of breaking

Franco, Sebastião Romero, Farina, Leandro

Similarity:

A Fourier approximation method is used for modeling and simulation of fully nonlinear steady waves. The set of resulting nonlinear equations are solved by Newton's method. The shoaling of waves is simulated based on comparisons with experimental data. The wave heights and the angles of breaking are analysed until the limit of inadequacy of the numerical method. The results appear quite close to those criteria predicted by the theory of completely nonlinear surface waves and contribute...

The wave map problem. Small data critical regularity

Igor Rodnianski (2005-2006)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Similarity:

The paper provides a description of the wave map problem with a specific focus on the breakthrough work of T. Tao which showed that a wave map, a dynamic lorentzian analog of a harmonic map, from Minkowski space into a sphere with smooth initial data and a small critical Sobolev norm exists globally in time and remains smooth. When the dimension of the base Minkowski space is ( 2 + 1 ) , the critical norm coincides with energy, the only manifestly conserved quantity in this (lagrangian) theory....

On a model system for the oblique interaction of internal gravity waves

Jean-Claude Saut, Nikolay Tzvetkov (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We give local and global well-posedness results for a system of two Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations derived by R. Grimshaw and Y. Zhu to model the oblique interaction of weakly nonlinear, two dimensional, long internal waves in shallow fluids. We also prove a smoothing effect for the amplitudes of the interacting waves. We use the Fourier transform restriction norms introduced by J. Bourgain and the Strichartz estimates for the linear KP group. Finally we extend the result of...
