Abstract
We consider a family of integro-differential equations depending upon a parameter b as well as a symmetric integral kernel g(x). When b=2 and g is the peakon kernel (i.e. g(x)=exp(?|x|) up to rescaling) the dispersionless Camassa-Holm equation results, while the Degasperis-Procesi equation is obtained from the peakon kernel with b=3. Although these two cases are integrable, generically the corresponding integro-PDE is non-integrable. However,for b=2 the family restricts to the pulson family of Fringer & Holm, which is Hamiltonian and numerically displays elastic scattering of pulses. On the other hand, for arbitrary b it is still possible to construct a nonlocal Hamiltonian structure provided that g is the peakon kernel or one of its degenerations: we present a proof of this fact using an associated functional equation for the skew-symmetric antiderivative of g. The nonlocal bracket reduces to a non-canonical Poisson bracket for the peakon dynamical system, for any value of b?1.
