Asymptotics of Regular Solutions to the Camassa–Holm Problem

Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Physics - A periodic boundary value problem is considered for a modified Camassa–Holm equation, which differs from the well-known classical equation...     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Low-Regularity Solutions of the Periodic Camassa–Holm Equation

We prove local existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of the Camassa–Holm equation with periodic boundary conditions in various spaces of low-regularity which include the periodic peakons. The proof uses the connection of the Camassa–Holm equation with the geodesic flow on the diffeomorphism group of the circle with respect to the L ² metric.     

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.     

The Cauchy Problem of a Shallow Water Equation

We consider the Cauchy problem of a shallow water equation and its local wellposedness.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Algebro-geometric solutions for the two-component Camassa–Holm Dym hierarchy

This paper is dedicated to provide theta function representations of algebro-geometric solutions and related crucial quantities for the two-component Camassa–Holm Dym (CHD2) hierarchy. Our main tools include the polynomial recursive formalism, the hyperelliptic curve with finite number of genus, the Baker–Akhiezer functions, the meromorphic function, the Dubrovin-type equations for auxiliary divisors, and the associated trace formulas. With the help of these tools, the explicit representations of the algebro-geometric solutions are obtained for the entire CHD2 hierarchy.     

Peakon weak solutions for the rotation-two-component Camassa–Holm system

Recently, Fan, Gao and Liu proposed a kind of rotation-two-component Camassa–Holm system. In this paper, we investigate whether the rotation-two-component Camassa–Holm system admits peakon-delta weak solutions in distribution sense. As special reductions, all peakon solutions for generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm system, two-component Camassa–Holm system, Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation and Camassa–Holm equation are recovered from the corresponding results of rotation-two-component Camassa–Holm system.     

Riemann–Hilbert approach for the Camassa–Holm equation on the line

We present a Riemann–Hilbert problem formalism for the initial value problem for the Camassa–Holm equation $u_t?u_{txx}+2\omega u_x+3u{u}_x=2u_x{u}_{xx}+u{u}_{xxx}$ on the line (CH). We show that: (i) for all $\omega >0$, the solution of this problem can be obtained in a parametric form via the solution of some associated Riemann–Hilbert problem; (ii) for large time, it develops into a train of smooth solitons; (iii) for small ω, this soliton train is close to a train of peakons, which are piecewise smooth solutions of the CH equation for $\omega =0$.
