Title:  Shocks interaction for the Burgers-Hilbert Equation 

Speaker:  Tien Khai Nguyen (North Carolina State University)

Abstract:  In 2009 J. Biello and J. Hunter derived a balance law modeling nonlinear waves with constant frequency, obtained from Burgers' equation by adding the Hilbert transform as a source term. For general L^2(R) initial data, the global existence of entropy weak solutions was proved by Bressan and Nguyen in 2014, together with a partial uniqueness result. Recently, unique piecewise continuous solutions with a single shock and the shock formation have been recently studied. This talk will describe a further type of local generic singularities for solutions, namely, points where two shocks interact.
