The local well-posedness and existence of weak solutions for a generalized Camassa–Holm equation

A generalization of the Camassa–Holm equation, a model for shallow water waves, is investigated. Using the pseudoparabolic regularization technique, its local well-posedness in Sobolev space Hs(R) with is established via a limiting procedure. In addition, a sufficient condition for the existence of weak solutions of the equation in lower order Sobolev space Hs with is developed.
