Rotation number and eigenvalues of two-component modified Camassa-Holm equations (Q6553022)

From the abstract: the authors discuss the spectral problem \N\[\N \left( \begin{array}{c} y_1\\\Ny_2 \end{array} \right)_x = \left( \begin{array}{ccc} -\frac12&\frac12\lambda m\\\N-\frac12\lambda n& \frac12 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} y_1\\\Ny_2 \end{array} \right) \N\]\Nfor the two-component modified Camassa-Holm equation, where \(m\) and \(n\) are two potentials. By introducing the rotation number \(\rho(\lambda)\) and studying its properties, they prove that for any integer \(k\), the periodic or anti-periodic eigenvalues are the endpoints of the interval \(\{\lambda\in\mathbb{R}:\rho(\lambda)=-\frac{k}{2}\}\) Moreover, the authors prove that as nonlinear functionals of potentials, such eigenvalues are continuous in potentials with respect to the weak topologies in the Lebesgue space \(L^1[0,t]\) Finally, they apply the trace formula to give some estimates of the periodic eigenvalues when the \(L^1\) norms of potentials are given.
