Abstract: We consider Novikov's Camassa-Holm type equation with cubic nonlinearity. In particular, we present a compact parametric representation of the smooth bright multisolution solutions on a constant background and investigate their structure. We find that the tau-functions associated with the solutions are closely related to those of a model equation for shallow-water waves (SWW) introduced by Hirota and Satsuma. This novel feature is established by applying the reciprocal transformation to the Novikov equation. We also show by specifying a complex phase parameter that the smooth soliton is converted to a novel singular soliton with single cusp and double peaks. We demonstrate that both the smooth and singular solitons converge to a peakon as the background field tends to zero whereby we employ a method that has been developed for performing the similar limiting procedure for the multisoliton solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation. In the subsequent asymptotic analysis of the two- and N-soliton solutions, we confirm their solitonic behaviour. Remarkably, the formulas for the phase shifts of solitons as well as their peakon limits coincide formally with those of the Degasperis-Procesi equation. Last, we derive an infinite number of conservation laws of the Novikov equation by using a relation between solutions of the Novikov equation and those of the SWW equation. In appendix, we prove various bilinear identities associated with the tau-functions of the multisoliton solutions of the SWW equation.
