A direct method for solving the generalized sine-Gordon equation II
The generalized sine-Gordon (sG) equation
was derived as an integrable generalization of the sG equation. In a previous
paper (Matsuno Y 2010 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. {\bf 43} 105204) which is
referred to as I, we developed a systematic method for solving the generalized
sG equation with . Here, we address the equation with . By
solving the equation analytically, we find that the structure of solutions
differs substantially from that of the former equation. In particular, we show
that the equation exhibits kink and breather solutions and does not admit
multi-valued solutions like loop solitons as obtained in I. We also demonstrate
that the equation reduces to the short pulse and sG equations in appropriate
scaling limits. The limiting forms of the multisoliton solutions are also
presented. Last, we provide a recipe for deriving an infinite number of
conservation laws by using a novel B\"acklund transformation connecting
solutions of the sG and generalized sG equations.Comment: To appear in J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. The first part of this paper

On the zero-dispersion limit of the Benjamin-Ono Cauchy problem for positive initial data
We study the Cauchy initial-value problem for the Benjamin-Ono equation in
the zero-disperion limit, and we establish the existence of this limit in a
certain weak sense by developing an appropriate analogue of the method invented
by Lax and Levermore to analyze the corresponding limit for the Korteweg-de
Vries equation.Comment: 54 pages, 11 figure
