In the present paper we explain the classification of oscillations and its relation to the loss of derivatives for a homogeneous hyperbolic operator of second order. In this way we answer the open question if the assumptions to get well posedness for weakly hyperbolic Cauchy problems or for strictly hyperbolic Cauchy problems with non-Lipschitz coefficients are optimal.
Local existence of generalized solutions to nonlocal problems for nonlinear functional partial differential equations of first order is investigated. The proof is based on the bicharacteristics and successive approximations methods.
Existence and uniqueness of almost everywhere solutions of nonlocal problems to functional partial differential systems in diagonal form are investigated. The proof is based on the characteristics and fixed point methods.
Nous exposons un exemple de non unicité du problème de Cauchy non caractéristique pour l’équation de transport associé à un champ de vecteurs borné, à divergence nulle et néanmoins à coefficients peu réguliers
Our aim is to find roots of the non-unique behavior of gases which can be observed in certain axisymmetric nozzle geometries under special flow regimes. For this purpose, we use several versions of the compressible Euler equations. We show that the main reason for the non-uniqueness is hidden in the energy decomposition into its internal and kinetic parts, and their complementary behavior. It turns out that, at least for inviscid compressible flows, a bifurcation can occur only at flow regimes with...

Nazionale “Problemi Non Lineari...”In this work we analyse the nonlinear Cauchy problem (∂tt − ∆)u(t, x) = ( λg + O(1/(1 + t + |x|)^a) ) ) ∇t,x u(t, x), ∇t,x u(t, x) ), whit initial data u(0, x) = e u0 (x), ut (0, x) = e u1 (x). We assume a ≥ 1, x ∈ R^n (n ≥ 3) and g the matrix related to the Minkowski space. It can be considerated a pertubation of the case when the quadratic term has constant coefficient λg (see Klainerman [6]) We...
We prove almost optimal local well-posedness for the coupled Dirac–Klein–Gordon (DKG) system of equations in dimensions. The proof relies on the null structure of the system, combined with bilinear spacetime estimates of Klainerman–Machedon type. It has been known for some time that the Klein–Gordon part of the system has a null structure; here we uncover an additional null structure in the Dirac equation, which cannot be seen directly, but appears after a duality argument.
