Abstract
This paper is concerned with the local well-posedness, wave breaking, blow-up rate for a Camassa-Holm type equation with time-dependent weak dissipation. Firstly, we obtain the local well-posedness of solutions by using Kato's theory. Secondly, by using energy estimates, characteristic methods, and comparison principles, we derive two blowup criteria involving both pointwise gradient conditions and mixed amplitude-gradient conditions, and prove the blowup rate is universally $-2$. Our results extend wave breaking analysis to physically relevant variable dissipation regimes.
