Some distributional solutions of the CH, DP and CH2 equations and the Lax pair formalism

This dissertation deals with a class of nonlinear wave equations of the type discovered by R. Camassa and D. D. Holm which includes the Camassa-Holm, the Degasperis-Procesi, and the two component Camassa-Holm equations. All these equations admit certain non-smooth soliton-like solutions, called peak...
