Minimization of eigenvalues for the Camassa–Holm equation

Abstract

A key basis for seeking solutions of the Camassa–Holm equation is to understand the associated spectral problem [Formula: see text] We will study in this paper the optimal lower bound of the smallest eigenvalue for the Camassa–Holm equation with the Neumann boundary condition when the [Formula: see text] norm of potentials is given. First, we will study the optimal lower bound for the smallest eigenvalue in the measure differential equations to make our results more applicable. Second, Based on the relationship between the minimization problem of the smallest eigenvalue for the ODE and the one for the MDE, we find the explicit optimal lower bound of the smallest eigenvalue for the Camassa–Holm equation.
