== Dispersive PDE Wiki ==


Welcome to the Dispersive PDE Wiki!  These web pages are intended to present the latest results, [[:Category:Open problems|conjectures]], [[:Category:Bibliography|bibliography]], [[:Category:Concept|concepts]] and other material on the local and global [[well-posedness]] problems (and related questions) for non-linear [[dispersion relation|dispersive]] and [[wave equations]].  (We also have [[DispersiveWiki:About|a more detailed description of this wiki and its purpose]].)
The information here has only recently been converted into wiki format, and there are still several rough edges to it.  We welcome updates, corrections, cleanup, and new contributions — just [[Special:Userlogin&type=signup|create an account]] and you're ready to edit! 
If you are new to wikis, we have some [[Help:Contents|help files]] available.  If you are interested in contributing, you might want to visit our [[DispersiveWiki:Community Portal|community portal]] for current discussions and projects.
== Classes of equations ==
There are a [[:Category:Equations|large number]] of [[nonlinear]] [[dispersive]] and [[wave]] equations of interest, many of which arise from mathematical physics.  We can divide them into four classes:
# [[Wave equations|Nonlinear wave equations]] ([[semilinear NLW|NLW]], [[semilinear NLW|NLKG]], [[Wave maps]], [[Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations|Maxwell-Klein-Gordon]], [[Yang-Mills equations|Yang-Mills]], [[Einstein equations]], etc.)
# [[Schrodinger equations|Nonlinear Schrodinger equations]] ([[NLS equation|NLS]], [[Schrodinger maps|Schrodinger maps]], [[Cubic DNLS on R|DNLS]], [[Hartree equation|Hartree]], etc.)
# [[KdV equations|Equations of Korteweg-de Vries type]] ([[Korteweg-de Vries equation|KdV]], [[Modified Korteweg-de Vries equation|mKdV]], [[Generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation|gKdV]], etc.)
# [[Other equations|Other equations and systems]] ([[Benjamin-Ono equation|Benjamin-Ono]], [[Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation|Kadomtsev-Petviashvili]], [[Zakharov equation|Zakharov]], [[Davey-Stewartson system|Davey-Stewartson]], etc.)
A complete list of equations discussed on this wiki [[:Category:Equations|can be found here]].
