On self-similar finite-time blowups of the De Gregorio model on the real line (2209.08232v2)

Abstract: We show that the De Gregorio model on the real line admits infinitely many compactly supported, self-similar solutions that are distinct under rescaling and will blow up in finite time. These self-similar solutions fall into two classes: the basic class and the general class. The basic class consists of countably infinite solutions that are eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint compact operator. In particular, the leading eigenfunction coincides with the finite-time singularity solution of the De Gregorio model recently obtained by numerical approaches. The general class consists of more complicated solutions that can be obtained by solving nonlinear eigenvalue problems associated with the same compact operator.
