Cohen–Danchin logarithmic-sharpness conjecture for acute-corner cusps
Cohen–Danchin logarithmic-sharpness conjecture for acute-corner cusps
Consider a vortex patch whose boundary has a single corner of acute angle, and define the order of a cusp at by
where and represent the graphs of the two sides of the cusping boundary near . Cohen–Danchin's conjecture. Any acute single corner would immediately evolve into a cusp of order with logarithmic sharpness. The conjecture refines the prediction that an acute corner immediately forms a cusp, using the fact stated in the source that cusps of order one are preserved in time.
