Abstract

This paper proposes a higher-order \(\mu \)-Camassa–Holm equation, which is regarded as a higher-order extension of the \(\mu \)-Camassa–Holm equation, and preserves some properties of the \(\mu \)-Camassa–Holm equation. We first show that the equation admits the peaked traveling wave solution, which is given by a Green function of the momentum operator. Local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem in the suitable Sobolev space is established. Finally, the blow-up criterion and wave breaking mechanism for solutions with certain initial profiles are studied. It turns out that all the nonlinearities even the first-order nonlinearity may have the effect on the blow up.
