In this paper, we are concerned with the existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions for the weakly dissipative Dullin-Gottwald-Holm equation describing the unidirectional propagation of surface waves in shallow water regime:                                        ut − α2uxxt + c0ux + 3uux + γuxxx + λ(u − α2uxx) = α2(2uxuxx + uuxxx).Our main conclusion is that on c0 = − γ/α2 and λ ≥ 0, if the initial data satisfies certain sign conditions, then we show that the equation has corresponding strong solution which exists globally in time, finally we demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions to the equation.
