Conservative solution of the Camassa Holm Equation on the real line

In this paper we construct a global, continuous flow of solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation on the space H^1(R). In a previous paper [2], A. Bressan and the author constructed spatially periodic solutions, whereas in this paper the solutions are defined in all the real line. We introduce a distance functional, defined in terms of an optimal transportation problem, which allows us to study the continuous dependance w.r.t. the inital data with a certain decay at infinity.

An Optimal Transportation Metric for Solutions of the Camassa-Holm Equation

In this paper we construct a global, continuous flow of solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation on the entire space $H^1$. Our solutions are conservative, in the sense that the total energy $\int (u^2+u_x^2) dx$ remains a.e. constant in time. Our new approach is based on a distance functional $J(u,v)$, defined in terms of an optimal transportation problem, which satisfies ${d\over dt} J(u(t), v(t))\leq κ\cdot J(u(t),v(t))$ for every couple of solutions. Using this new distance functional, we can construct arbitrary solutions as the uniform limit of multi-peakon solutions, and prove a general uniqueness result.

On the Blow-up for a Discrete Boltzmann Equation in the Plane

We study the possibility of finite-time blow-up for a two dimensional Broadwell model. In a set of rescaled variables, we prove that no self-similar blow-up solution exists, and derive some a priori bounds on the blow-up rate. In the final section, a possible blow-up scenario is discussed.
