Conserved norms and related conservation laws for multi-peakon equations

Abstract: All nonlinear dispersive wave equations in the general class

m_{t} + f (u, u_{x}) m + (g (u, u_{x}) m)_{x} = 0

are known to possess multi-peakon weak solutions. A classification is presented for families of multi-peakon equations in this class that possess conserved momentum; conserved

H^{1}

norm of

u

; conserved

H^{2}

norm of

u

; conserved

L^{2}

norm of

m

; related conservation laws. The results yield, among others, two interesting wide families of equations:

m_{t} + 2 u_{x} h (u, u_{x}) m + u (h (u, u_{x}) m)_{x} = 0

for which the

H^{1}

norm of

u

is conserved;

m_{t} - f r a c 12 u_{x} h^{'} (u) m + (h (u) m)_{x} = 0

for which the

L^{2}

norm of

m

is conserved. The overlap of these two families yields a singular equation which is nevertheless found to possess both smooth solitary wave solutions and peakon travelling wave solutions.
