Convergent Numerical Schemes for the Compressible Hyperelastic Rod Wave Equation

We propose a fully discretised numerical scheme for the hyperelastic rod wave equation on the line. The convergence of the method is established. Moreover, the scheme can handle the blow-up of the derivative which naturally occurs for this equation. By using a time splitting integrator which preserves the invariants of the problem, we can also show that the scheme preserves the positivity of the energy density

Periodic conservative solutions for the two-component Camassa-Holm system

We construct a global continuous semigroup of weak periodic conservative solutions to the two-component Camassa-Holm system, $u_t-u_{txx}+\kappa u_x+3uu_x-2u_xu_{xx}-uu_{xxx}+\eta\rho\rho_x=0$ and $\rho_t+(u\rho)_x=0$, for initial data $(u,\rho)|_{t=0}$ in $H^1_{\rm per}\times L^2_{\rm per}$. It is necessary to augment the system with an associated energy to identify the conservative solution. We study the stability of these periodic solutions by constructing a Lipschitz metric. Moreover, it is proved that if the density $\rho$ is bounded away from zero, the solution is smooth. Furthermore, it is shown that given a sequence $\rho_0^n$ of initial values for the densities that tend to zero, then the associated solutions $u^n$ will approach the global conservative weak solution of the Camassa-Holm equation. Finally it is established how the characteristics govern the smoothness of the solution.Comment: To appear in Spectral Analysis, Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics, Proc. Symp.

Global dissipative solutions of the two-component Camassa-Holm system for initial data with nonvanishing asymptotics

We show existence of a global weak dissipative solution of the Cauchy problem for the two-component Camassa-Holm (2CH) system on the line with nonvanishing and distinct spatial asymptotics. The influence from the second component in the 2CH system on the regularity of the solution, and, in particular, the consequences for wave breaking, is discussed. Furthermore, the interplay between dissipative and conservative solutions is treated.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1111.318
