Blow-up phenomena and global existence to a weakly dissipative shallow water equation

Abstract

We first establish the local well-posedness for a weakly dissipative shallow water equation which includes both the weakly dissipative Camassa-Holm equation and the weakly dissipative Degasperis-Procesi equation as its special cases. Then two blow-up results are derived for certain initial profiles. Finally, We study the long time behavior of the solutions.
