Poisson structure and action-angle variables for the Camassa-Holm equation (Q2475262)

The Poisson brackets and consequently the action-angle variables for the Camassa-Holm equation \(u_t - u_{xxt} + 2\omega u_x + 3uu_x - 2u_x u_{xx} + uu_{xxx} = 0\), \(\omega \) is a real constant, are computed. They are expressed in terms of the scattering data for this integrable system, when the solutions are confined to be generalized functions. Singular cases deserve further investigation.
