Shocks, Singularities and Oscillations in Nonlinear Optics and Fluid Mechanics

This volume collects the most relevant results from the INdAM Workshop 'Shocks, Singularities and Oscillations in Nonlinear Optics and Fluid Mechanics' held in Rome, September 14-18, 2015. The contributions discuss recent major advances in the study of nonlinear hyperbolic systems, addressing general theoretical issues such as symmetrizability, singularities, low regularity or dispersive perturbations. It also investigates several physical phenomena where such systems are relevant, such as nonlinear optics, shock theory (stability, relaxation) and fluid mechanics (boundary layers, water waves, Euler equations, geophysical flows, etc.). It is a valuable resource for researchers in these fields.
