We study the blowup behavior of a class of strongly perturbed wave equations with a focusing supercritical power nonlinearity in three spatial dimensions. We show that the ODE blowup profile of the unperturbed equation still describes the asymptotics of stable blowup. As a consequence, stable ODE-type blowup is seen to be a universal phenomenon that exists in a large class of semilinear wave equations.
We study the blowup behavior for the focusing energy-supercritical semilinear wave equation in 3 space dimensions without symmetry assumptions on the data. We prove the stability of the ODE blowup profile.
We consider a sequence of blowup solutions of a two dimensional, second order elliptic equation with exponential nonlinearity and singular data. This equation has a rich background in physics and geometry. In a work of Bartolucci-Chen-Lin-Tarantello it is proved that the profile of the solutions differs from global solutions of a Liouville type equation only by a uniformly bounded term. The present paper improves their result and establishes an expansion of the solutions near the blowup points with a sharp error estimate.
An averaging method is applied to derive effective approximation to the following singularly perturbed nonlinear stochastic damped wave equation u u_{tt}+u_t=D u+f(u)+ u^alphadot{W} on an open bounded domain $DsubsetR^n$,, $1leq nleq 3$,. Here $ u>0$ is a small parameter characterising the singular perturbation, and $ u^alpha$,, $0leq alphaleq 1/2$,, parametrises the strength of the noise. Some scaling transformations and the martingale representation theorem yield the following effective approximation for small $ u$, u_t=D u+f(u)+ u^alphadot{W} to an error of $ord{ u^alpha}$,.
We consider co-rotational wave maps from the $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski space into the $d$-sphere for $dgeq 3$ odd. This is an energy-supercritical model which is known to exhibit finite-time blowup via self-similar solutions. Based on a method developed by the second author and Schorkhuber, we prove the asymptotic nonlinear stability of the ground-state self-similar solution.
We establish Strichartz estimates for the radial energy-critical wave equation in 5 dimensions in similarity coordinates. Using these, we prove the nonlinear asymptotic stability of the ODE blowup in the energy space.
