Blow-up conditions for two dimensional modified Euler-Poisson equations (Q2630919)

This article presents the study of a two-dimensional modified Euler-Poisson system. Since the Riesz transform contained by the Euler-Poisson system is singular in origin, the author approximates this transform by introducing a modified Riesz transform without singularity at origin. This is done by replacing the Cauchy principle integral with the integral over a domain obtained by removing an origin-centered disk of given (small) radius from \(\mathbb{R}^2\). The main results concern finite time blow-up of solutions to the modified Euler-Poisson system with attractive and repulsive forcing.
