Abstract
We establish local well-posedness in the Sobolev space Hs with any s>3/2 for an integrable nonlinearly dispersive wave equation arising as a model for shallow water waves known as the Camassa-Holm equation. However, unlike the more familiar Korteweg-deVries model, we demonstrate conditions on the initial data that lead to finite time blow-up of certain solutions.
