## Communicated by W. Sprößig We present numerical results on a two-dimensional Riemann problem governed by the self-similar nonlinear wave system that gives rise to a transonic shock. We consider a configuration for a vertical incident shock moving to the right above a rectangular object. The inc
For a wide class of nonlinear parabolic equations of the form u y ⌬ u s t Ž . F u, ٌu , we prove the nonexistence of global solutions for large initial data. We also estimate the maximal existence time. To do so we use a method of comparison with suitable blowing up self-similar subsolutions. As a c
We study the blow-up self-similar solutions of the radially symmetric nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) given by iu t + u rr + d -1 r u r + u|u| 2 , with dimension d > 2. These solutions become infinite in a finite time T . By a series of careful numerical computations, partly supported by analyt
