Two types of bounded traveling-wave solutions of a two-component Camassa-Holm equation (Q2511700)

The Camassa-Holm equation (CH) is a well-known integrable model which describes dynamics of unidirectional nonlinear dispersive waves in shallow water. This paper is concerned with the two-component Camassa-Holm system (CH2) which includes both velocity and density variables in dynamics and is a generalization of the classical Camassa-Holm equation [\textit{P. Olver} and \textit{P. Rosenau}, ``Tri-Hamiltonian duality between solitons and solitary-wave solutions having compact support'', Phys. Rev. E 53, No. 2, 1900--1906 (1996; \url{doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.53.1900})]. Using the bifurcation method of planar systems and simulation method of differential equations, the authors investigate the compacton and the generalized kink wave solutions of CH2, both of which are bounded traveling waves. The planar graphs of compactons and generalized kink waves are simulated by using Maple. The exact parameter expressions of compactons and the implicit expressions of generalized kink waves to CH2 are given.
