The Cauchy problem of a shallow water equation (Q2581158)

The authors consider the initial value problem for a fifth order shallow water equation in the nonperiodic case, as opposed to the previously considered periodic case. The equation studied has the same nonlinear terms as the well-known Fuchssteiner-Fokas-Camassa-Holm equation, and in this sense can be considered to be a higher order analogue of this last.
