A LIPSCHITZ METRIC FOR THE CAMASSA–HOLM EQUATION

We analyze stability of conservative solutions of the Cauchy problem on the line for the Camassa–Holm (CH) equation. Generically, the solutions of the CH equation develop singularities with steep gradients while preserving continuity of the solution itself. In order to obtain uniqueness, one is required to augment the equation itself by a measure that represents the associated energy, and the breakdown of the solution is associated with a complicated interplay where the measure becomes singular. The main result in this paper is the construction of a Lipschitz metric that compares two solutions of the CH equation with the respective initial data. The Lipschitz metric is based on the use of the Wasserstein metric.

Lipschitz metric for the modified two-component Camassa–Holm system

This paper is devoted to the existence and Lipschitz continuity of global conservative weak solutions in time for the modified two-component Camassa–Holm system on the real line. We obtain the global weak solutions via a coordinate transformation into the Lagrangian coordinates. The key ingredients in our analysis are the energy density given by the positive Radon measure and the proposed new distance functions as well.
