On the Stability of Self-Similar Blow-Up for Nonlinear Wave Equations
Po-Ning Chen, Department of Mathematics, UC Riverside,

One of fundamental importance in studying nonlinear wave equations is the singularity development of the solutions. Within the context of energy supercritical wave equations, a typical way to investigate singularity development is through the self-similar blowup.

In this talk, we will discuss current work in progress toward establishing the asymptotic nonlinear stability of self-similar blowup in the strong-field Skyrme equation and the quadratic wave equation.
