On A Spectral Analysis of Scattering Data for the Camassa-Holm Equation

Physical details of the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation that are difficult to obtain in space-time simulation can be explored by solving the Lax pair equations within the direct and inverse scattering analysis context. In this spectral analysis of the completely integrable CH equation we focus solely on the direct scattering analysis of the initial condition defined in the physical space coordinate through the time-independent Lax equation. Both of the continuous and discrete spectrum cases for the initial condition under current investigation are analytically derived. The scattering data derived from the direct scattering transform for non-reflectionless case are also discussed in detail in spectral domain from the physical viewpoint.
