Integrable peakon systems with weak kink and kink-peakon interactional solutions

Abstract

We report two integrable peakon systems that have weak kink and kink-peakon interactional solutions. Both peakon systems are guaranteed integrable through providing their Lax pairs. The peakon and multi-peakon solutions of both equations are studied. In particular, the two-peakon dynamic systems are explicitly presented and their collisions are investigated. The weak kink solution is studied, and more interesting, the kink-peakon interactional solutions are proposed for the first time.

Keywords

Integrable system / Lax pair / peakon / weak kink / kink-peakon
