The local well-posedness, blow-up and global solution of a new integrable system in Besov spaces
Abstract
In this paper, we first establish the local well-posednesss for the Cauchy problem of a -peakon system in the sense of Hadamard in both critical Besov spaces and supercritical Besov spaces. Second, we gain a blow-up criterion. According to blow-up criterion wemreach a precise blow-up criterion. Under a sign condition, we reach the existence of global solution. Finally, based on the first-order difference method, we give a simulation example of the blow-up of the equation and the properties of the global solution.
1 Introduction
Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation which was introduced to describe the behavior of long waves on shallow water in the most famous model in soliton theory, because it is integrable and includes the phenomena of soliton interaction. But the KdV equation cannot model the occurrence of breaking waves. In 1993, Camassa and Holm obtain a nonlinear partial differential equation [2]
which is named Camassa-Holm (CH) equation.
A particular feature of the CH equation is that when it admits peaked soliton solutions which are also called peakons. It can be regarded as a shallow water wave equation.[2, 8, 18]. Its complete integrability was discussed in [2, 4, 9]. The CH equation also has a Hamilton structure[3, 12], and admits exact orbitally stable peaked solitons of the form with . The local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of CH equation in Besov spaces and Sobolev spaces was proved in [5, 6, 10, 22].
Since constructing peakon equation are interested in the fields of Physics and Mathematics. Based on an asymptotic integrability approach, Degasperis and Procesi discovered a new equation which has peakon solutions[20, 11]. Similarly, the Cauchy problem of the DP equation is locally well-posed in certain Sobolev and Besov spaces[24, 16, 25]. And Geng and Xue constructed a two component peakon with cubic nonlinearity[13], three components generalization of CH equation[14] and super CH equation with -peakon[15].
Geng and Xue constructed from the compatibility of a matrix spectral problem, a new nonlinear evolution with -peakon is derived[23]

It is shown in that system (1.1) admits exact solutions with -peakon, which takes the form
where and evolve according to a dynamical system.
After some transformations, (1.1) can be changed into a transport-like equation

with , .
In this paper, firstly, applying Littlewood-Paley theory and transport theory, for the initial data in certain Besov spaces of high regularity or of critical regularity, complete the locally well-posedness in Besov space with or or , we prove the local solution to equation (1.1) exists uniquely and depends continuously on the initial data. And we will talk about the blow-up criterion and the blow up condition of initial data. In the last part of the paper,according to the structure of equation, we can find a sign-preserved property, and by the virtue of the high-preserved we see that the -norm of v is non-increasing, then we can finally give the condition of existence of the global solution.
2 Preliminaries
In this section, we will present some propositions about the Littlewood-Paley decomposition and the non homogeneous Besov spaces with their properties.
Proposition 2.1 (Littlewood-Paley decomposition).
Then for all , we can define the nonhomogeneous dyadic blocks as follows. Let
Hence,

According to Young’s inequality, we get
The low frequency cut-off operator is defined by
and the Littlewood-Paley decomposition is quasi-orthogonal in in the following sense:
Definition 2.2 (Nonhomogeneous Besov space).
In the following lemma, we list some important properties of Besov spaces.

3 Local well-posedness
In this section, we will establish the local well-posedness for the Cauchy problem (1.1) or (1.2) in Besov spaces. We want to solve the Cauchy problem (1.2) directly by general Picard scheme and transport equation theory, but we will fail to do that due to the loss of regularity of the transport term. By Prop 2.4, we can overcome the difficulty by solving the Cauchy problem (1.1).
Firstly, we give a definition as follows
Definition 3.1.
Let and . Denote
Theorem 3.2.
Let and satisfies the condition
(3.1) |
Let with be in . Then (1.1) has a unique maximal solution in and depends continuously on the initial data .
Moreover, there exists a positive constant , depending only on
Proof.
Now we prove Theorem 3.2 as the following steps.
Step 1: Constrcuting Approxiamte Solitions and Uniform Bounds.
Denoting , we define a sequence of smooth functions by solving the following linear transport equation:
By induction, we assume that . Since is an -multiplier and
also noticing that is an algebra when satisfies the condition (3.1) and the embedding , we obtain
At the same time , and denote that
Applying Thm2.11, we have
(3.2) |
We may assume and fix a
(3.3) |
Suppose that , satisfies
(3.4) |
Note that
Plugging (3.4) into (3.2) yields
(3.5) |
Therefore, is uniformly bounded in . According to the system and Lemma2.11 and Lemma2.12, we can deduce that is uniformly bounded in .
Step 2: Convergence and Regularity.
We will claim that is a Cauchy sequence in , if or ; or of if .
Indeed, for all , taking the difference between the system and , and denote , we have
(3.6) |
Case1: or
First, estimate the left-hand side of system (3.6) in . In fact, by Lemma2.6 and Lemma2.4, we can see
Also we can obtain
Now, recalling (3.4) and the uniform bound estimates of , and making use of Lemma2.11 or Lemma2.12 to the system (3.6), we have
where is a constant, then by induction as tends to
which means , and by Fatou’s property, we obtain that .
Now for any test function in the system , applying Prop2.8, and taking the limits, it is not hard to check that is a solution to the system (1.1).
Case2: and
Since the critical index , we can only apply Lemma2.11 in the stage space . And noticing that , and applying Lemma2.6 to the system (3.6)
Also we can obtain the initial data of system (3.6) satisfies
Since and , we obtain the estimate of the flow
According to the logarithm interpolation of Lemma2.3, and the uniform bound of , we obtain
denote that , then we have
Note that , thus it is obvious that is an Osgood modulus of continuity. Applying Lesbesgue-Fatou’s lemma in real analysis, we conclude that, for
Hence according to the Osgood lemma, we have
which implies that is a Cauchy sequence in the space and converges to the limit function .Along the same line of Case1, similarly we deduce that is a solution to (1.1) and .
Step 3: Uniqueness.
Suppose are two solutions of (1.1) with initial data and respectively. Denoting , we have
(3.7) |
If or , along the same computation in step 2, , we have inequality
By Gronwall’s inequality
(3.8) |
If , similar to step 2, we have inequality
denote and , obviously, since
then we have
Since is an Osgood modulus of continuity on , then by Osgood lemma, we get inequality
then by the definition of , we have
(3.9) | ||||
Then the uniqueness of solution to the system (1.1) in the space follows from (3.8) and (3.9).
Step 4: Continuous Dependence.
Now according to Lemma2.14, denote . suppose is the solution to (1.1) with initial data , then we have a sequence of systems
with .
Next we claim that if in when tends to , then in with satisfying .
(1) r¡. Decompose into , and satisfy
Denote , and letting , according to the proof of the existence, we get that
Hence, is uniformly bounded in and
also it is obvious that
similar to the proof of the uniqueness, since in , then we have in in . Then by Lemma2.14
in as
Therefore, we have , large enough, when , , then
by Gronwall’s inequality,
Hence we gain the continuity of the system (1.1) in with respect to the initial data in .
(2) . Similar to Step2, we have . Then , we have
and
by Lemma2.3, we can conclude that as for . Thus we gain the continuity of the system (1.1) in with respect to the initial data in .
∎
4 Blow-up criterion
We can use the method introduced by Zhang and Yin[blowupcriterion] to obtain a blow-up criterion as follows.
Theorem 4.1.
Proof.
For simplicity, consider the case . For all satisfies , according to the product laws, since and , we have
(4.1) |
(1) .
(3)
If , we can repeat the above process. Indeed, since
we similar have
By induction, we can choose such that , and , gives that
Therefore we can conclude that
Return to and suppose , we have:
Case1: s¡1 By (1), we have .
Case2: s=1 By (1), we have and by (2) we get that .
Case3: s¿1 By (1), we have and by (2) we get that , lastly by the induction in (3), we can deduce that .
Therefore . Then by what we proved in Thm3.2, small enough such that for some suitable , , then follow then same line of Step1 in the proof of Thm3.2, we can extend the solution on to on and by the uniqueness for any .
∎
5 Blow-up
As we have the blow-up criterion, consider the following initial value problem
(5.1) |
then the system (1.1) in Lagrangian coordinates can be written as
(5.2) |
Theorem 5.1.
More precisely, will blow up at time .
Proof.
Consider the system (5.2) for all , then it is obvious that for all
and
denote , then according to (5.2), we have
Consider the ordinary differential equation
then we have
It is obvious that is an increasing function, and by (5.3)
then we can easily get that and .
Therefore will blow up at time . ∎
6 Existence of global solution
Similarly, we consider the initial value problem (5.1), applying classical results in the theory of ODEs, one can obtain the following results of .
Lemma 6.1.
We then have the following sign-preserved result.
Lemma 6.2.
Let and . Assume is the maximal existence time of the solution to (1.1), then

Noticing and, we get . Since is a diffeomorphism on , we completes the proof. ∎
Lemma 6.3.
Let and . Assume is the maximal existence time of the solution to (1.1) with initial data . Then

Theorem 6.5.

7 Simulation
According to our blow up condition, we can construct an exact example of the system (1.1).
Let and denote
taking , it is obviously that . Since , by Young’s inequality we can get the rough estimate of and
then we can denote and .
It is obvious that

The solution of system (1.1) with the initial data can be roughly expressed as Figure 1:

It is consistent with the approximate numerical calculation of blow up condition we have given.
And for , it is easy to check that for all and , the solution of system (1.1) with the initial data can be roughly expressed as Figure 2:

It is consistent with the existence of the global solution. And the above figure of the solution is similar to the exact single peakon of the form[23]
