Abstract

We classify all weak traveling wave solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation. It is proved that, in addition to smooth solutions, there are a multitude of traveling waves with singularities: peakons, cuspons, stumpons, and composite waves. The approach is also shown to apply to other related nonlinear wave equations.
