TL;DR
The paper addresses global solvability and finite-time blow-up for a class of weakly dissipative two-component Camassa-Holm-type equations in Besov spaces, extending results beyond Sobolev spaces and removing sign constraints on initial momentum. By reformulating the system through a damped, time-dependent coefficient framework with $\widetilde{m}=e^{\lambda t}m$ and $\widetilde{\sigma}=e^{\lambda t}\sigma$, and employing a nonstandard Friedrichs-type iterative scheme, the authors establish global well-posedness in Besov spaces under smallness conditions on the integrated time-dependent parameters. They also derive two blow-up criteria, connecting dissipation and coefficient dynamics to singularity formation, and provide a precise blow-up condition under sign assumptions on the coefficients, illustrating how damping governs wave-breaking behavior. Together, these results advance the understanding of dissipative CH-type systems by providing Besov-space well-posedness, explicit damping-dependent bounds, and sharp blow-up characterizations with implications for stability and long-time dynamics.
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for a class of weakly dissipative Camassa-Holm equations in nonhomogeneous Besov spaces. First, we prove that the Cauchy problem admits a unique global strong solution in Besov spaces with proper condition on the dissipation parameter $λ>0$. The novel ingredients in the proof lies in transforming the equations into a class of damped Camassa-Holm equations, and performing a non-standard iterative method. It is shown that our result holds for the damped equations with more general time-dependent parameters, which improves the existed results from Sobolev spaces to Besov spaces without assuming any sign condition on the initial data. Second, we derive two kinds of blow-up criteria in suitable Sobolev spaces, which in some sense inform us how the dissipation parameter $λ$ influences the singularity formation of strong solutions.
