By using the nonlinear steepest descent method and the so-called $g$-function approach, we show that the Camassa-Holm equation exhibits a rich structure of sharply separated regions in the $x,t$-half-plane with qualitatively different asymptotics, which can be described in terms of a sum of modulated finite-gap hyperelliptic or elliptic functions and a finite number of solitons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-15T12:46:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37K10", "37K15", "37K40", "35B40", "37K05" ], "keywords": [ "camassa-holm equation", "step-like solutions", "nonlinear steepest descent method", "cauchy problem", "long-time asymptotics" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151204762M" } } }
