Dispersive Blow-up for Solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

Abstract: The main purpose here is the study of dispersive blow-up for solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. Dispersive blow-up refers to point singularities due to the focusing of short or long waves. We will construct initial data such that solutions of the linear problem present this kind of singularities. Then we show that the corresponding solutions of the nonlinear problem present dispersive blow-up inherited from the linear component part of the equation. Similar results are obtained for the generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation.
