On a Camassa-Holm type equation with two dependent variables

Two different four component Camassa-Holm (4CH) systems with cubic nonlinearity are proposed. The Lax pair and Hamiltonian structure are defined for both (CH) systems. The first (4CH) system include as a special case the (3CH) system considered by Xia, Zhou and Qiao, while the second contains the two-component generalization of Novikov system considered by Geng and Xiu.

We consider the integrable Camassa--Holm hierarchy on the line with positive initial data rapidly decaying at infinity. It is known that flows of the hierarchy can be formulated in a Hamiltonian form using two compatible Poisson brackets. In this note we propose a new approach to Hamiltonian theory of the CH equation. In terms of associated Riemann surface and the Weyl function we write an analytic formula which produces a family of compatible Poisson brackets. The formula in...

In this paper we construct global weak conservative solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation on the periodic domain. We first express the equation in Lagrangian flow variable $\eta$ and then transform it using a change of variable $\rho=\sqrt{\eta_x}$. The new variable removes the singularity of the CH equation, and we obtain both the global weak conservative solution and global spatial smoothness of the Lagrangian trajectories of the CH equation. This work is motivated by J. L...

We study non-linear integrable partial differential equations naturally arising as bi-Hamiltonian Euler equations related to the looped cotangent Virasoro algebra. This infinite-dimensional Lie algebra (constructed in \cite{OR}) is a generalization of the classical Virasoro algebra to the case of two space variables. Two main examples of integrable equations we obtain are quite well known. We show that the relation between these two equations is similar to that between the Ko...

A class of multi-component integrable systems associated to Novikov algebras, which interpolate between KdV and Camassa-Holm type equations, is obtained. The construction is based on the classification of low-dimensional Novikov algebras by Bai and Meng. These multi-component bi-Hamiltonian systems obtained by this construction may be interpreted as Euler equations on the centrally extended Lie algebras associated to the Novikov algebras. The related bilinear forms generating...

An explicit reciprocal transformation between a 2-component generalization of the Camassa-Holm equation, called the 2-CH system, and the first negative flow of the AKNS hierarchy is established, this transformation enables one to obtain solutions of the 2-CH system from those of the first negative flow of the AKNS hierarchy. Interesting examples of peakon and multi-kink solutions of the 2-CH system are presented.

The interest in the Camassa-Holm equation inspired the search for various generalizations of this equation with interesting properties and applications. In this letter we deal with such a two-component integrable system of coupled equations. First we derive the system in the context of shallow water theory. Then we show that while small initial data develop into global solutions, for some initial data wave breaking occurs. We also discuss the solitary wave solutions. Finally,...

We consider singular solutions of a system of two cross-coupled Camassa-Holm (CCCH) equations. This CCCH system admits peakon solutions, but it is not in the two-component CH integrable hierarchy. The system is a pair of coupled Hamiltonian partial differential equations for two types of solutions on the real line, each of which separately possesses exp(-|x|) peakon solutions with a discontinuity in the first derivative at the peak. However, there are no self-interactions, so...

This work represents a PhD thesis concerning three main topics. The first one deals with the study and applications of Lie systems with compatible geometric structures, e.g. symplectic, Poisson, Dirac, Jacobi, among others. Many new Lie systems admitting Vessiot--Guldberg Lie algebras of Hamiltonian vector fields relative to the above mentioned geometric structures are analyzed and their importance is illustrated by their appearances in physical, biological and mathematical m...

The method of Lie symmetry analysis of differential equations is applied to determine exact solutions for the Camassa-Choi equation and its generalization. We prove that the Camassa-Choi equation is invariant under an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra, with an essential five-dimensional Lie algebra. The application of the Lie point symmetries leads to the construction of exact similarity solutions.
