Euler-Poincare Formalism of Peakon Equations with Cubic Nonlinearity

Abstract

Guha P

We present an Euler-Poincar´e (EP) formulation of a new class of peakon equations with cubic nonlinearity, viz., Fokas-Qiao and V. Novikov equations, in two almost equivalent ways. The first method is connected to flows on the spaces of Hill’s and first order differential operator and the second method depends heavily on the flows on space of tensor densities. We give a comparative analysis of these two methods. We show that the Hamiltonian structures obtained by Qiao and Hone and Wang can be reproduced by EP formulation. We outline the construction for the 2+1-dimensional generalization of the peakon equations with cubic nonlinearity using the action of the loop extension of Vect(S¹) on the space of tensor densities.
