The existence of the global entropy weak solutions for a generalized Camassa-Holm equation

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the existence of a global entropy weak solution $u\in H^1(\mathbb{R})$ and $\partial_{x}u\in L^1(\mathbb{R})\cap BV(\mathbb{R})$ for the Cauchy problem of a generalized Camassa-Holm equation by the viscous approximation method.
