Global Dissipative Multipeakon Solutions of the Camassa–Holm Equation

We show how to construct globally defined dissipative multipeakon solutions of the Camassa–Holm equation. The construction includes in particular the case with peakon-antipeakon collisions. The solutions are dissipative in the sense that the associated energy is decreasing in time.     

Wave Breaking of the Camassa–Holm Equation

This paper gives a new and direct proof for McKean’s theorem (McKean in Asian J. Math. 2:867–874, 1998) on wave breaking of the Camassa–Holm equation. The blow-up profile is also analyzed.     

Initial Boundary Value Problems of the Camassa–Holm Equation

In this paper we study initial boundary value problems of the Camassa–Holm equation on the half line and on a compact interval. Using rigorously the conservation of symmetry, it is possible to convert these boundary value problems into Cauchy problems for the Camassa–Holm equation on the line and on the circle, respectively. Applying thus known results for the latter equations we first obtain the local well-posedness of the initial boundary value problems under consideration. Then we present some blow-up and global existence results for strong solutions. Finally we investigate global and local weak solutions for the equation on the half line and on a compact interval, respectively. An interesting result of our analysis shows that the Camassa–Holm equation on a compact interval possesses no nontrivial global classical solutions.     

Orbital Stability of Peakons for the Modified Camassa–Holm Equation

In this paper, we investigate the orbital stability of the peaked solitons(peakons) for the modified Camassa–Holm equation with cubic nonlinearity. We consider a minimization problem with an appropriately chosen constraint, from which we establish the orbital stability of the peakons under H¹∩ W^1,4 norm.     

Global Solutions for the Two-Component Camassa–Holm System

We prove existence of a global conservative solution of the Cauchy problem for the two-component Camassa–Holm (2CH) system on the line, allowing for nonvanishing and distinct asymptotics at plus and minus infinity. The solution is proven to be smooth as long as the density is bounded away from zero. Furthermore, we show that by taking the limit of vanishing density in the 2CH system, we obtain the global conservative solution of the (scalar) Camassa–Holm equation, which provides a novel way to define and obtain these solutions. Finally, it is shown that while solutions of the 2CH system have infinite speed of propagation, singularities travel with finite speed.     

Bäcklund Transformations for the Camassa–Holm Equation

The Bäcklund transformation (BT) for the Camassa–Holm (CH) equation is presented and discussed. Unlike the vast majority of BTs studied in the past, for CH the transformation acts on both the dependent and (one of) the independent variables. Superposition principles are given for the action of double BTs on the variables of the CH and the potential CH equations. Applications of the BT and its superposition principles are presented, specifically the construction of travelling wave solutions, a new method to construct multisoliton, multicuspon and soliton–cuspon solutions, and a derivation of generating functions for the local symmetries and conservation laws of the CH hierarchy.     

Optimal control of the viscous Camassa–Holm equation

This paper studies the problem of optimal control of the viscous Camassa–Holm equation. The existence and uniqueness of weak solution to the viscous Camassa–Holm equation are proved in a short interval. According to variational method, optimal control theories and distributed parameter system control theories, we can deduce that the norm of solution is related to the control item and initial value in the special Hilbert space. The optimal control of the viscous Camassa–Holm equation under boundary condition is given and the existence of optimal solution to the viscous Camassa–Holm equation is proved.     

On the isospectral problem of the dispersionless Camassa–Holm equation

We discuss direct and inverse spectral theory for the isospectral problem of the dispersionless Camassa–Holm equation, where the weight is allowed to be a finite signed measure. In particular, we prove that this weight is uniquely determined by the spectral data and solve the inverse spectral problem for the class of measures which are sign definite. The results are applied to deduce several facts for the dispersionless Camassa–Holm equation. In particular, we show that initial conditions with integrable momentum asymptotically split into a sum of peakons as conjectured by McKean.     

Optimal control of the viscous generalized Camassa–Holm equation

In this paper, we study the optimal control problem for the viscous generalized Camassa–Holm equation. We deduce the existence and uniqueness of weak solution to the viscous generalized Camassa–Holm equation in a short interval by using Galerkin method. Then, by using optimal control theories and distributed parameter system control theories, the optimal control of the viscous generalized Camassa–Holm equation under boundary condition is given and the existence of optimal solution to the viscous generalized Camassa–Holm equation is proved.     

A Note on the analytic solutions of the Camassa–Holm equation

In this Note we are concerned with the well-posedness of the Camassa–Holm equation in analytic function spaces. Using the Abstract Cauchy–Kowalewski Theorem we prove that the Camassa–Holm equation admits, locally in time, a unique analytic solution. Moreover, if the initial data is real analytic, belongs to $H^s(\mathbb{R})$ with $s>3/2$, $6u_0{6}_{L^1}<\infty$ and $u_0?u_{0xx}$ does not change sign, we prove that the solution stays analytic globally in time.

The Camassa–Holm equation on the half-line

We study the initial-boundary-value problem for the Camassa–Holm equation on the half-line by associating to it a matrix Riemann–Hilbert problem in the complex k-plane; the jump matrix is determined in terms of the spectral functions corresponding to the initial and boundary values. We prove that if the boundary values $u(0,t)$ are ?0 for all t then the corresponding initial-boundary-value problem has a unique solution, which can be expressed in terms of the solution of the associated RH problem. In the case $u(0,t)<0$, the compatibility of the initial and boundary data is explicitly expressed in terms of an algebraic relation to be satisfied by the spectral functions.

Null controllability of the viscous Camassa–Holm equation with moving control

In this paper, we study the null controllability of the viscous Camassa–Holm equation on the one-dimensional torus. By using a moving distributed control, we obtain that the system is null controllable for a given data with certain regularity.     

Continuity properties of the data-to-solution map for the generalized Camassa–Holm equation

This work studies a generalized Camassa–Holm equation with higher order nonlinearities (g-kbCH). The Camassa–Holm, the Degasperis–Procesi and the Novikov equations are integrable members of this family of equations. g-kb  CH is well-posed in Sobolev spaces H^s$H^s$, s>3/2$s>3/2$, on both the line and the circle and its solution map is continuous but not uniformly continuous. In this work it is shown that the solution map is Hölder continuous in H^s$H^s$ equipped with the H^r$H^r$-topology for 0?r<s$0?r<s$, and the Hölder exponent is expressed in terms of s and r.     

Global solutions for the generalized Camassa–Holm equation

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of the generalized Camassa–Holm equation. Firstly, we prove the existence of the global strong solutions provide the initial data satisfying a certain sign condition. Then, we obtain the existence and the uniqueness of the global weak solutions under the same sign condition of the initial data.     

Orbital stability of floating periodic peakons for the Camassa–Holm equation

Considered herein is the orbital stability of floating periodic peakons for the Camassa–Holm (CH) equation, which describes one-dimensional surface waves at a free surface of shallow water under the influence of gravity. The floating periodic peakons shift up or down according to the change of the parameter. The result shows that the floating periodic peakons are orbitally stable and their stability is independent of the parameter in the CH equation.
