Abstract: We consider the non-local formulation of the Degasperis-Procesi equation ut+uux+L(frac32u2)x=0, where L is the non-local Fourier multiplier operator with symbol m(xi)=(1+xi2)−1. We show that all Linfty, pointwise travelling-wave solutions are bounded above by the wave-speed and that if the maximal height is achieved they are peaked at those points, otherwise they are smooth. For sufficiently small periods we find the highest, peaked, travelling-wave solution as the limiting case at the end of the main bifurcation curve of P-periodic solutions. The results imply that the Degasperis-Procesi equation does not admit cuspon solutions.
