We consider the radial wave equation in similarity coordinates within the semigroup formalism. It is known that the generator of the semigroup exhibits a continuum of eigenvalues and embedded in this continuum there exists a discrete set of eigenvalues with analytic eigenfunctions. Our results show that, for sufficiently regular data, the long time behaviour of the solution is governed by the analytic eigenfunctions. The same techniques are applied to the linear stability problem for the fundamental self--similar solution $chi_T$ of the wave equation with a focusing power nonlinearity. Analogous to the free wave equation, we show that the long time behaviour (in similarity coordinates) of linear perturbations around $chi_T$ is governed by analytic mode solutions. In particular, this yields a rigorous proof for the linear stability of $chi_T$ with the sharp decay rate for the perturbations.

We establish Strichartz estimates in similarity coordinates for the radial wave equation in three spatial dimensions with a (time-dependent) self-similar potential. As an application we consider the critical wave equation and prove the asymptotic stability of the ODE blowup profile in the energy space.
In this paper we continue the formal analysis of the long-time asymptotics of the homoenergetic solutions for the Boltzmann equation that we began in [18]. They have the form $fleft( x,v,tright) =gleft(v-Lleft( tright) x,tright) $ where $Lleft( tright) =Aleft(I+tAright) ^{-1}$ where $A$ is a constant matrix. Homoenergetic solutions satisfy an integro-differential equation which contains, in addition to the classical Boltzmann collision operator, a linear hyperbolic term. Depending on the properties of the collision kernel the collision and the hyperbolic terms might be of the same order of magnitude as $ttoinfty$, or the collision term could be the dominant one for large times, or the hyperbolic term could be the largest. The first case has been rigorously studied in [17]. Formal asymptotic expansions in the second case have been obtained in [18]. All the solutions obtained in this case can be approximated by Maxwellian distributions with changing temperature. In this paper we focus in the case where the hyperbolic terms are much larger than the collision term for large times (hyperbolic-dominated behavior). In the hyperbolic-dominated case it does not seem to be possible to describe in a simple way all the long time asymptotics of the solutions, but we discuss several physical situations and formulate precise conjectures. We give explicit formulas for the relationship between density, temperature and entropy for these solutions. These formulas differ greatly from the ones at equilibrium.
We suggest a new representation of Maslovs canonical operator in a neighborhood of the caustics using a special class of coordinate systems (eikonal coordinates) on Lagrangian manifolds. The specific features of the two-dimensional case are considered. The general case is treated in arXiv:1307.2292 [math-ph].
We construct Darboux-Moutard type transforms for the two-dimensional conductivity equation. This result continues our recent studies of Darboux-Moutard type transforms for generalized analytic functions. In addition, at least, some of the Darboux-Moutard type transforms of the present work admit direct extension to the conductivity equation in multidimensions. Relations to the Schrodinger equation at zero energy are also shown.
In the small dispersion limit, solutions to the Korteweg-de Vries equation develop an interval of fast oscillations after a certain time. We obtain a universal asymptotic expansion for the Korteweg-de Vries solution near the leading edge of the oscillatory zone up to second order corrections. This expansion involves the Hastings-McLeod solution of the Painleve II equation. We prove our results using the Riemann-Hilbert approach.
