G-Strands and Peakon Collisions on Diff(R)

A G-strand is a map g: R×R→G for a Lie group G that follows from Hamilton's principle for a certain class of G-invariant Lagrangians. Some G-strands on finite-dimensional groups satisfy 1+1 space-time evolutionary equations that admit soliton solutions as completely integrable Hamiltonian syste...

A G-strand is a map g: R×R→G for a Lie group G that follows from Hamilton's principle for a certain class of G-invariant Lagrangians.

This paper studies collisions of such singular solutions of G-strands when G=Diff(R) is the group of diffeomorphisms of the real line R, for which the group product is composition of smooth invertible functions. In the case of peakon-antipeakon collisions, the solution reduces to solving either Laplace's equation or the wave equation (depending on a sign in the Lagrangian) and is written in terms of their solutions.
