Blow-up for nonlinear Maxwell equations

Piero D'Ancona, Serge Nicaise, Roland Schnaubelt

Abstract:
We construct classical solutions to the nonlinear Maxwell system with periodic boundary conditions which blow up in H(curl). A similar result is shown on the full space. Our construction is based on an analysis of a shock wave in one space dimension.
