Analyticity of the Cauchy problem and persistence properties for a generalized Camassa-Holm equation

Abstract

This paper is mainly concerned with the Cauchy problem for a generalized Camassa-Holm equation with analytic initial data. The analyticity of its solutions is proved in both variables, globally in space and locally in time. Then, we present a persistence property for strong solutions to the system. Finally, explicit asymptotic profiles illustrate the optimality of these results.
