Weakly singular shock profiles for a non-dispersive regularization of shallow-water equations

We study a regularization of the classical Saint-Venant (shallow-water) equations, recently introduced by D. Clamond and D. Dutykh (Commun. Nonl. Sci. Numer. Simulat. 55 (2018) 237-247). This regularization is non-dispersive and formally conserves mass, momentum and energy. We show that for every classical shock wave, the system admits a corresponding non-oscillatory traveling wave solution which is continuous and piecewise smooth, having a weak singularity at a single point where energy is dissipated as it is for the classical shock. The system also admits cusped solitary waves of both elevation and depression.

Cutoff estimates for the Becker-Döring equations

This paper continues the authors' previous study (SIAM J. Math. Anal., 2016) of the trend toward equilibrium of the Becker-Döring equations with subcritical mass, by characterizing certain fine properties of solutions to the linearized equation. In particular, we partially characterize the spectrum of the linearized operator, showing that it contains the entire imaginary axis in polynomially weighted spaces. Moreover, we prove detailed cutoff estimates that establish upper and lower bounds on the lifetime of a class of perturbations to equilibrium.
