Symmetry analysis, conserved quantities and applications to a dissipative DGH equation.

Abstract In this paper, we study a weakly dissipative Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation from the viewpoint of Lie symmetry analysis. We first perform symmetry analysis and the nonlinear self-adjointness of this equation. Due to a mixed derivatives term in the equation, we need to rewrite the corresponding form Lagrangian in symmetric form to construct conservation laws. From the viewpoint, we present a general procedure of how these conserved quantities come about. Based on these conserved quantities, blow-up analysis and global existence of strong solutions are presented. Finally, we show that this equation admits a weak peakon-type solution.
