Discontinuous traveling waves as weak solutions to the Fornberg-Whitham equation
Abstract
We analyze the weak solution concept for the Fornberg-Whitham equation in case of traveling waves with a piecewise smooth profile function. The existence of discontinuous weak traveling wave solutions is shown by means of analysis of a corresponding planar dynamical system and appropriate patching of disconnected orbits.
