1. Introduction Camassa and Holm [1] derived a shallow water wave equation
ut þ 2kux uxxt þ 3uux ¼ 2ux uxx þ uuxxx ;
ð1Þ
which is called Camassa–Holm equation (CH equation). For k ¼ 0, they showed that Eq. (1) has peaked solitary wave solutions (peakons)
u1 ðx; tÞ ¼ cejxctj ;
ð2Þ
which have discontinuous first derivative at the wave peak in contrast to the smoothness of most previously known specious of solitary waves and thus are called peakons. Eq. (1) is integrable in the sense of an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system and arises as model for shallow water waves [1,2]. A more in-depth discussion of this essential aspect of the solution is performed in[3,4]. The peakons capture a characteristic of the traveling waves of greatest height – exact traveling solutions of the governing equations for water waves with a peak at their crest [5–7]. Simper approximate shallow water models (like the classical Korteweg–de Vries equation) do not present traveling wave solutions with this feature. In the sense of papers [8,9], the peakons are to be understood as weak solutions. As pointed out above, the governing equations for water waves admit peaked and smooth solutions. The contrast between these two classes is very big since the smooth solutions are known to be real-analytic cf. the discussion in [10]. The discovery of this special kind of peakons from CH equation has attracted much attention of mathematicians and physicists, many authors have come to study the CH equation and different generalized forms of CH equation. There are two important aspects on investigation of CH equation and its modified forms, one is under what conditions, the CH equation and its modified forms have solutions of peakons, another is that if the peakons obtained are orbital stable. For instance, Constantin investigated peakons (2) and proved that the peakons are orbital stable [11]. When k – 0 for CH equation, Zhang [12] obtained a more general expression of peakons as follows

which means that peakons exist for CH equation for k takes any values, obviously (2) are special case of (3). The author of this letter considered the orbital stability of such peakons (3) with non-vanishing boundary, and proved peakons (3) are orbital stable in the norm of H1 [13]. Based on the above study, Liu and Qian [14] studied a generalized CH equation
ut þ 2kux uxxt þ auux ¼ 2ux uxx þ uuxxx ;
ð4Þ
when a ¼ 3 in (4), Eq. (4) is the CH equation namely. In case of a – 3, they considered if Eq. (4) has solutions of peakons, they found that when the coefficient a changes, there still exist peakons for Eq. (4), and the results are as follows: (i) In case of a – 3 and k – 0, Eq. (4) has peakons
x Bt ; u1 ðx; tÞ ¼ B exp A
ð5Þ
qffiffi 6k where B ¼ 3a ; A ¼ 3a.
(ii) In case of k – 0, Eq. (4) has peakons
x Ct 2 ; u2 ðx; tÞ ¼ C 3 exp A
ð6Þ
qffiffi 2k where C ¼ 1þa ; A ¼ 3a.
Although solutions (5) and (6) are all peaked solitary waves, there exist some differ- ences between peakons (5) and (6), it is obviously that peakons (5) vanish and peakons (6) tend to an non-zero constant as jxj ! 1. The orbital stability problems of the peakons (5) and (6) have not been solved yet, so it is interesting to consider the stability of the two different kinds of peakons. As already observed by Benjamin and coworkers [15,16], a solitary wave cannot be stable in the strictest sense of the word. To understand this, consider two solitary waves of different height, centered initially at the same point. Science the two waves have different amplitudes they have different velocities according to the expressions (5) and (6). As time passes the two waves will apart, no matter how small the initial difference was. However, in the situation just described, it is evident that two solitary waves with slightly differing height will stay similar in shape during the time evolution. Measuring the difference in shape therefore will give an acceptable notion of stability. This sense of orbital stability was introduced by Benjamin [15]. We say a solitary wave is orbital stable if a solution u of Eq. (4) that is initially sufficiently close to a solitary wave will always stay close to a translation of the solitary wave during the time of evolution. A more mathematically precise definition is as follows. For any > 0, consider the tube
n o U ¼ u 2 H1 : inf jju ss uc jjH1 < ; s
where
ss f ðxÞ ¼ f ðx þ sÞ is a translation of f. The set U is an neighborhood of the collection of all translates of uc .
Definition 1.1. The solitary wave is stable if for all > 0, there exists a d > 0, such that if u0 ¼ uð; 0Þ 2 U d , for all t 2 R. The solitary uc is unstable if uc is not stable. The following two quantities E and F are critically important to the proof of peakons,

these are constants of the motion,that is, along solutions these expressions are independent of time. The role of these integrals of motion in stability considerations was pioneered in [11]. 1 R Now we denote jjujj2H1 ¼ R ðu2 þ A2 u2x Þdx.

From the relationship between the norm jjujjH1 and jjujjH1 , we only need to prove peakons (5) and (6) are stable on the norm jjujjH1 . A

2. Stability of peakons vanishing as jxj ! ‘ In this section we discuss the orbital stability of peakons (5) with vanishing boundary for Eq. (4). We have the following theorem. Theorem 2.1. If u 2 Cð½0; TÞ; H1 ðRÞÞ is a solution to (4) with

P0 ðyÞ ¼ y3 3B2 y þ 2B3 ¼ ðy BÞ2 ðy þ 2BÞ: Because of the estimates on EðuÞ and FðuÞ, there is a root of P near y ¼ 2B, and there may be two roots of P near y ¼ B. But (10) and (12) show that there must be two roots near y ¼ B and M must lie between the two roots. The two roots are closer to y ¼ B than the roots of the cubic

3. Stability of peakons non-vanishing as jxj ! ‘ In this section we discuss the stability of peakons (6) with non-vanishing boundary for Eq. (4).The solutions u2 ðx; tÞ approach the constant 2C as jxj ! 1. From the structure of peakons (6) we know that u2 ðx; tÞ may be regarded as the addition
j and a constant 2C, so it can be rewritten as the following form of functions 3C exp j xCt A
u2 ðx; tÞ ¼ v ðx; tÞ 2C;
ð13Þ
where v ðx; tÞ ¼ 3C expðj xCt jÞ, and Eðv Þ and Fðv Þ for v ðx; tÞ are conserved. So let A e ðx; tÞ 2C with u e ðx; tÞ 2 Cð½0; TÞ; H1 ðRÞÞ and Eð u e Þ and F u e Þ are conserved, 2C is the constant in (6)}. X 1 ¼ fuðx; tÞ : uðx; tÞ ¼ u e e Note u0 ¼ uðx; 0Þ and u 0 ¼ u ðx; 0Þ, we have the following results from the definition of orbital stability. e ðx; tÞ 2C is a solution of CH equation (4). For any Theorem 3.1. If uðx; tÞ ¼ u such that if

then
jjuð; tÞ u2 ð nðtÞÞjjH1 < for t 2 ð0; TÞ; A
where nðtÞ 2 R is any point where the function uð; tÞ attains its maximum. Remark 3.1. In Theorem 3.1 uðx; tÞ is called a solution to (4) if uðx; tÞ 2 X 1 and uðx; tÞ is a solution of (4) in the sense of distribution. As (13) are solutions of (4), substituting (13) into (4) we get that v ðx; tÞ ¼ 3C expðj xCt jÞ are solutions of equation A
v t þ 2ðk aCÞv x v xxt þ avv x þ 2C v xxx ¼ 2v x v xx þ vv xxx :
ð14Þ
e ðx; tÞ is a solution of Eq. (14) on the assumption that uðx; tÞ ¼ u e ðx; tÞ 2C is a solution to Eq. (4). Since Similarly, u

4. Conclusion This paper deal with the stability of such peakons as (5) and (6), one of which tend to 0 as jxj ! 1 and the other have nonvanishing boundry. By some transformation and the method in [11] we prove the orbital stability of these peakons. The methods used in this paper could be extended to multipeakons [17,18].
