Description
Summary:This paper is devoted to the Cauchy problem for a generalized Camassa-Holm equation. First, we prove that the solution <i>u</i>(<i>x, t</i>) to the generalized Camassa-Holm equation with compactly supported initial data <i>u</i><sub>0</sub>(<i>x</i>) instantly loses compact support. In this sense, the localized disturbance represented by <i>u</i><sub>0</sub> propagates with an infinite speed. We further prove that the solution <i>u</i>(<i>x, t</i>) to the generalized Camassa-Holm equation has an exponential decay as |<i>x</i>| goes to infinity. Moreover, the asymptotic behaviors of the solution at infinity are investigated as the initial data decays exponentially or algebraically.
