On the formation of singularities for surface water waves

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A Burgers equation with fractional dispersion is proposed to model waves on the moving surface of a two-dimensional, infinitely deep water under the influence of gravity. For a certain class of initial data, the solution is shown to blow up in finite time.
