Blowup for Hyperbolic Equations

چکیده
We consider di erent situations of blowup in sup norm for hyper bolic equations For scalar conservation laws with a source the asymptotic pro le of the solution close to a blowup point is described in detail Based on an example of Je rey we next show how blowup for ordinary di erential equations can be used to construct examples of blowup for systems of hy perbolic equations Finally we outline the construction of solutions to certain strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws which blow up in either sup norm or total variation norm in nite time

Gradient Driven and Singular Flux Blowup of Smooth Solutions to Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
We consider two new classes of examples of sup-norm blowup in finite time for strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The explosive growth in amplitude is caused either by a gradient catastrophe or by a singularity in the flux function. The examples show that solutions of (uniformly) strictly hyperbolic systems can remain as smooth as the initial data until the time of blowup. Consequ...
متن کاملFinite Time Singularities for Hyperbolic Systems
In this paper, we study the formation of finite time singularities in the form of super norm blowup for a spatially inhomogeneous hyperbolic system. The system is related to the variational wave equations as those in [18]. The system posses a unique C solution before the emergence of vacuum in finite time, for given initial data that are smooth enough, bounded and uniformly away from vacuum. At...

Abstract. We consider two new classes of examples of sup-norm blowup in finite time for strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The explosive growth in amplitude is caused either by a gradient catastrophe or by a singularity in the flux function. The examples show that solutions of uniformly strictly hyperbolic systems can remain as smooth as the initial data until the time of blowup....
متن کاملLocal Well-posedness for Membranes in the Light Cone Gauge
In this paper we consider the classical initial value problem for the bosonic membrane in light cone gauge. A Hamiltonian reduction gives a system with one constraint, the area preserving constraint. The Hamiltonian evolution equations corresponding to this system, however, fail to be hyperbolic. Making use of the area preserving constraint, an equivalent system of evolution equations is found,...
متن کاملThe Role of Critical Exponents in Blowup Theorems
In this article various extensions of an old result of Fujita are considered for the initial value problem for the reaction-diffusion equation ut Au + up in RN with p > 1 and nonnegative initial values. Fujita showed that if 1 < p < 1 + 2IN, then the initial value problem had no nontrivial global solutions while if p > 1 + 2IN, there were nontrivial global solutions. This paper discusses simila...
