In such regimes, standard numerical methods may suffer from severe difficulties: low regularity complicates stability and error analysis, while classical discretizations frequently generate pronounced spurious oscillations near jumps. Therefore, computing discontinuous or rough solutions of nonlinear wave equations is a timely and important topic in the numerical analysis of dispersive PDEs.<br \/>\nThis minisymposium focuses on recent advances in the design, analysis, and implementation of robust numerical methods for nonlinear wave equations with low-regularity or discontinuous solutions. Topics of interest include low-regularity integrators, structure-preserving and filtering techniques, spectral and Fourier-based methods, and rigorous convergence theory below the classical smoothness setting.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organizers of this minisymposium are Buyang Li (Hong Kong, Hong Kong) Jiachuan Cao (Karlsruhe, Germany) Nonlinear wave equations arise in a broad range of applications, including nonlinear optics, continuum physics, and field theory, and often exhibit nonsmooth dynamics caused by rough initial data, interfaces, or the propagation of discontinuities.
