Factorization problem on the Hilbert-Schmidt group and the Camassa-Holm equation

May 5th, 2007 at 15:15 in HG G43

Given by: Luen-Chau Li (Penn State) 

Abstract: The Camassa-Holm equation is a model of long waves
in shallow water. In contrast to the Korteweg-de Vries equation,
the Camassa-Holm equation admits breaking solutions. However,
a relatively large class of initial data which give rise to global
solutions has also been identified by Camassa and independently
by Constantin. In this talk, we will discuss a method to integrate
both the Lagrangian version and the Eulerian version of the
Camassa-Holm equation for this class of initial data by using a
factorization problem on the Hilbert-Schmidt group.
