Traveling waves of a generalized Rotation-Camassa-Holm equation with the Coriolis effect

In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of a generalized Rotation-Camassa-Holm equation, which is the $θ$-equation augmented with the Coriolis effect, induced by the earth rotation. The generalized Rotation-Camassa-Holm equation (named as Rotation-$θ$ equation) is a generalization of a family of models (including the Rotation-Camassa-Holm equation for $θ=\frac{1}{3}$, asymptotic Rotation-Camassa-Holm equation for $θ=1$ and the Rotation-Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation for $θ=\frac{1}{4}$). Our study is conducted via the bifurcation method and qualitative theory of dynamical systems. The existence of not only smooth solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions, but also peakons and periodic peakon solutions is shown. The chosen values $θ$, allow us to assess the difference in behavior between the classical $θ$-equation and the Rotation-$θ$ equation. We conclude that the Coriolis effect does affect the traveling wave solutions. We summarize the bifurcations and explicit expressions of waves solutions in three theorems in Section 4. A conclusion ends the paper.
