Equations with Peakon Solutions in the Negative Order Camassa-Holm Hierarchy

الملخص EN

The negative order Camassa-Holm (CH) hierarchy consists of nonlinear evolution equations associated with the CH spectral problem.

In this paper, we show that all the negative order CH equations admit peakon solutions; the Lax pair of the N-order CH equation given by the hierarchy is compatible with its peakon solutions.

Special peakon-antipeakon solutions for equations of orders -3 and -4 are obtained.

Indeed, for N≤-2, the peakons of N-order CH equation can be constructed explicitly by the inverse scattering approach using Stieltjes continued fractions.

The properties of peakons for N-order CH equation when N is odd are much different from the CH peakons; we present the case N=-3 as an example.
