Blowup For Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations

Download or read book Blowup for Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations written by Serge Alinhac and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solutions to partial differential equations or systems often, over specific time periods, exhibit smooth behaviour. Given sufficient time, however, they almost invariably undergo a brutal change in behaviour, and this phenomenon has become known as blowup. In this book, the author provides an overview of what is known about this situation and discusses many of the open problems concerning it.
