The Novikov equation is a Camassa-Holm type equation with cubic nonlinearity. This paper aims to prove the asymptotic stability of peakons solutions under $H^1(\mathbb{R})$-perturbations satisfying that their associated momentum density defines a non-negative Radon measure. Motivated by Molinet's work, we shall first prove a Liouville property for $H^1(\mathbb{R})$ global solutions belonging to a certain class of almost localized functions. More precisely, we show that such solutions have to be a peakon. The main difficulty in our analysis in comparison to the Camassa-Holm case comes from the fact that the momentum is not conserved and may be unbounded along the trajectory. Also, to prove the Liouville property, we used a new Lyapunov functional not related to the (not conserved) momentum of the equation.
The Novikov equation is an integrable Camassa-Holm type equation with cubic nonlinearity and admits the periodic peakons. In this paper, it is shown that the periodic peakons are the global periodic weak solutions to the Novikov equation and we also prove the orbital stability of the periodic peakons for Novikov equation. By using the invariants of the equation and controlling the extrema of the solution, it is demonstrated that the shapes of these periodic peakons are stable under small perturbations in the energy space.
The Novikov equation is an integrable Camassa-Holm type equation with cubic nonlinearity. One of the most important features of this equation is the existence of peakon and multi-peakon solutions, i.e. peaked traveling waves behaving as solitons. This paper aims to prove both, the orbital and asymptotic stability of peakon trains solutions, i.e. multi-peakon solutions such that their initial configuration is increasingly ordered. Furthermore, we give an improvement of the orbital stability of a single peakon so that we can drop the non-negativity hypothesis on the momentum density. The same re…
For the Novikov equation, on both the line and the circle, we construct a 2-peakon solution with an asymmetric antipeakon-peakon initial profile whose $H^s$-norm for $s<3/2$ is arbitrarily small. Immediately after the initial time, both the antipeakon and peakon move in the positive direction, and a collision occurs in arbitrarily small time. Moreover, at the collision time the $H^s$-norm of the solution becomes arbitrarily large when $5/4<s<3/2$, thus resulting in norm inflation and ill-posedness. However, when $s<5/4$, the solution at the collision time coincides with a second solitary antip…
Considered herein is a multi-component Novikov equation, which admits bi-Hamiltonian structure, infinitely many conserved quantities and peaked solutions. In this paper, we deduce two blow-up criteria for this system and global existence for some two-component case in $H^s$. Finally we verify that the system possesses peakons and periodic peakons.
In this article we study a new kind of unbounded solutions to the Novikov equation, found via a Lie symmetry analysis. These solutions exhibit peakon creation, i.e., these solutions are smooth up until a certain finite time, at which a peak is created. We show that the functions are still weak solutions for those times where the peak lives. We also find similar unbounded solutions with peakon creation in the related Camassa-Holm equation, by making an ansatz inspired by the Novikov solutions. Finally, we see that the same ansatz for the Degasperis-Procesi equation yields unbounded solutions wh…
It is known from the previous works that the peakon solutions of the Novikov equation are orbitally and asymptotically stable in $H^1$. We prove, via the method of characteristics, that these peakon solutions are unstable under $W^{1,\infty}$-perturbations. Moreover, we show that small initial $W^{1,\infty}$-perturbations of the Novikov peakons can lead to the finite time blow-up of the corresponding solutions.
We prove that the two-component peakon solutions are orbitally stable in the energy space. The system concerned here is a two-component Novikov system, which is an integrable multicomponent extension of the integrable Novikov equation. We improve the method for the scalar peakons to the two-component case with genuine nonlinear interactions by establishing optimal inequalities for the conserved quantities involving the coupled structures. Moreover, we also establish the orbital stability for the train-profiles of these two-component peakons by using the refined analysis based on monotonicity o…
This paper investigates the Cauchy problem of a generalized Camassa-Holm equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities (alias the mCH-Novikov-CH equation), which is a generalization of some special equations such as the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation, the modified CH (mCH) equation ((alias the Fokas-Olver-Rosenau-Qiao equation), the Novikov equation, the CH-mCH equation, the mCH-Novikov equation, and the CH-Novikov equation. We first show the local well-posedness for the strong solutions of the mCH-Novikov-CH equation in Besov spaces by means of the Littlewood-Paley theory and the transport equ…
In this paper, we study the following generalized Camassa-Holm equation with both cubic and quadratic nonlinearities: $$ m_{t}+k_{1}(3uu_{x}m+u^2m_{x})+k_{2}(2mu_{x}+m_{x}u)=0, \quad m=u-u_{xx}, $$ which is presented as a linear combination of the Novikov equation and the Camassa-Holm equation with constants $k_{1}$ and $k_{2}$. The model is a cubic generalization of the Camassa-Holm equation. It is shown that the equation admits single-peaked soliton and periodic peakons.
We study the cubic ab-family of equations, which includes both the Fokas-Olver-Rosenau-Qiao (FORQ) and the Novikov (NE) equations. For $a\neq0$, it is proved that there exist initial data in the Sobolev space $H^s$, $s<3/2$, with non-unique solutions. Multiple solutions are constructed by studying the collision of 2-peakon solutions. Furthermore, we prove the novel phenomenon that for some members of the family, collision between 2-peakons can occur even if the "faster" peakon is in front of the "slower" peakon.
We study the periodic Cauchy problem for an integrable equation with cubic nonlinearities introduced by V. Novikov. Like the Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations, Novikov's equation has Lax pair representations and admits peakon solutions, but it has nonlinear terms that are cubic, rather than quadratic. We show the local well-posedness of the problem in Sobolev spaces and existence and uniqueness of solutions for all time using orbit invariants. Furthermore we prove a Cauchy-Kowalevski type theorem for this equation, that establishes the existence and uniqueness of real analytic solu…
We continue our investigation on the asymptotic stability of the peakon. In a first step we extend our asymptotic stability result [29] in the class of functions whose negative part of the momentum density is supported in ] -- $\infty$, x 0 ] and the positive part in [x 0 , +$\infty$[ for some x 0 $\in$ R. In a second step this enables us to prove the asymptotic stability of well-ordered train of antipeakons-peakons and, in particular, of the antipeakon-peakon profile. Finally, in the appendix we prove that in the case of a non negative momentum density the energy at the left of any given poin…
We consider the scaling similarity solutions of two integrable cubically nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that admit peaked soliton (peakon) solutions, namely the modified Camassa-Holm (mCH) equation and Novikov's equation. By making use of suitable reciprocal transformations, which map the mCH equation and Novikov's equation to a negative mKdV flow and a negative Sawada-Kotera flow, respectively, we show that each of these scaling similarity reductions is related via a hodograph transformation to an equation of Painlevé type: for the mCH equation, its reduction is of second ord…
We prove that the peakons are asymptotically H 1-stable, under the flow of the Degasperis-Procesi equation, in the class of functions with a momentum density that belongs to M + (R). The key argument is a rigidity result for uniformly in time exponentially decaying global solutions that is shared by the Holm-Staley b-family of equations for b $\ge$ 1. This extends previous results obtained for the Camassa-Holm equation (b = 2).
We prove a Liouville property for uniformly almost localized (up to translations) H 1-global solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation with a momentum density that is a non negative finite measure. More precisely, we show that such solution has to be a peakon. As a consequence, we prove that peakons are asymptotically stable in the class of H 1-functions with a momentum density that belongs to M + (R). Finally, we also get an asymptotic stability result for train of peakons.

The Degasperis-Procesi equation can be derived as a member of a one-parameter family of asymptotic shallow water approximations to the Euler equations with the same asymptotic accuracy as that of the Camassa-Holm equation. In this paper, we study the orbital stability problem of the peaked solitons to the Degasperis-Procesi equation on the line. By constructing a Liapunov function, we prove that the shapes of these peakon solitons are stable under small perturbations.
The Camassa-Holm equation with linear dispersion was originally derived as an asymptotic equation in shallow water wave theory. Among its many interesting mathematical properties, which include complete integrability, perhaps the most striking is the fact that in the case where linear dispersion is absent it admits weak multi-soliton solutions - "peakons" - with a peaked shape corresponding to a discontinuous first derivative. There is a one-parameter family of generalized Camassa-Holm equations, most of which are not integrable, but which all admit peakon solutions. Numerical studies reported…
Peakons are special weak solutions of a class of nonlinear partial differential equations modelling non-linear phenomena such as the breakdown of regularity and the onset of shocks. We show that the natural concept of weak solutions in the case of the modified Camassa-Holm equation studied in this paper is dictated by the distributional compatibility of its Lax pair and, as a result, it differs from the one proposed and used in the literature based on the concept of weak solutions used for equations of the Burgers type. Subsequently, we give a complete construction of peakon solutions satisfyi…
The modified Camassa-Holm equation (also called FORQ) is one of numerous $cousins$ of the Camassa-Holm equation possessing non-smoth solitons ($peakons$) as special solutions. The peakon sector of solutions is not uniquely defined: in one peakon sector (dissapative) the Sobolev $H^1$ norm is not preserved, in the other sector (conservative), introduced in [2], the time evolution of peakons leaves the $H^1$ norm invariant. In this Letter, it is shown that the conservative peakon equations of the modified Camassa-Holm can be given an appropriate Poisson structure relative to which the equations …
This paper is mainly concerned with the well-posedness and exponential decay of solution for a integrable three-component Novikov system, which admits bi-Hamiltonian structure and infinitely many conserved quantities. The local well-posedness of this system in critical Besov space is established. The exponential decay of the solutions at infinity is also proved.
Using the tri-hamiltonian splitting method, the authors of [Anco and Mobasheramini, Physica D, 355:1--23, 2017] derived two $U(1)$-invariant nonlinear PDEs that arise from the hierarchy of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and admit peakons ($non-smooth\ solitons$). In the present paper, these two peakon PDEs are generalized to a family of $U(1)$-invariant peakon PDEs parametrized by the real projective line $ \mathbf{RP} ^1$. All equations in this family are shown to posses $conservative\ peakon \ solutions$ (whose Sobolev $H^1(\mathbf{R})$ norm is time invariant). The Hamiltonian structure …
In the present paper we begin studies on the large time asymptotic behavior for solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Novikov--Veselov equation (an analog of KdV in 2 + 1 dimensions) at positive energy. In addition, we are focused on a family of reflectionless (transparent) potentials parameterized by a function of two variables. In particular, we show that there are no isolated soliton type waves in the large time asymptotics for these solutions in contrast with well-known large time asymptotics for solutions of the KdV equation with reflectionless initial data.
In the present paper we are concerned with the Novikov--Veselov equation at negative energy, i.e. with the $ (2 + 1) $--dimensional analog of the KdV equation integrable by the method of inverse scattering for the two--dimensional Schrödinger equation at negative energy. We show that the solution of the Cauchy problem for this equation with non--singular scattering data behaves asymptotically as $ \frac{\const}{t^{3/4}} $ in the uniform norm at large times $ t $. We also present some arguments which indicate that this asymptotics is optimal.
A spectral and the inverse spectral problem are studied for the two-component modified Camassa-Holm type for measures associated to interlacing peaks. It is shown that the spectral problem is equivalent to an inhomogenous string problem with Dirichlet/Neumann boundary conditions. The inverse problem is solved by Stieltjes' continued fraction expansion, leading to an explicit construction of peakon solutions. Sufficient conditions for the global existence in $t$ are given. The large time asymptotics reveals that, asymptotically, peakons pair up to form bound states moving with constant speeds. …
In this article we show that the large time asymptotics for the Grinevich-Zakharov rational solutions of the Novikov-Veselov equation at positive energy (an analog of KdV in 2+1 dimensions) is given by a finite sum of localized travel waves (solitons).
