On wave-breaking phenomena for a new generalized two-component shallow water wave system (Q2664015)

This paper deals with a two-component shallow water wave system \[\left\{\!\!\!\!\begin{array}{ll} &m_t +\sigma (2mu_x +um_x)+3(1-\sigma )uu_x + \rho \rho_x -3(u^2\rho (\rho -1))_x +4(u^3)_x =0, \\ &\rho_t + (\rho u)_x - (u^3)_x \rho = 0, \end{array}\right. \] which is an effective approximation to governing equations for the water waves in non-zero constant vorticity shallow waters. The authors prove two wave-breaking results. The first one is based on a convolution estimate and applies when \(\sigma\not=0\). The second one is based on tracking the dynamics of \(\beta \sigma u \pm u_x,\, (\beta\sigma \in[0,1)]\) along the characteristics and applies when \(\sigma \in [1, 3]\).
