The Cauchy problem for a fourth-order Boussinesq-type quasilinear wave equation (QWE-4) of the form
$u_{tt} = -(|u|^n u)_{xxxx}\;\;\; \mbox{in}\;\;\; \mathbb{R} × \mathbb{R}_+, \;\;\;\mbox{with a fixed exponent} \, \, \, n>0, $
and bounded smooth initial data, is considered. Self-similar single-point gradient blow-up solutions are studied. It is shown that such singular solutions exist and satisfy the case of the so-called self-similarity of the second type.
Together with an essential and, often, key use of numerical methods to describe possible types of gradient blow-up, a "homotopy" approach is applied that traces out the behaviour of such singularity patterns as
$n \to 0^+$
, when the classic linear beam equation occurs
$u_{tt} = -u_{xxxx}, $
with simple, better-known and understandable evolution properties.
Keywords: Fourth-order quasilinear wave equation, gradient blow-up, selfsimilarity of the second kind.
