摘要
The paper provides a direct proof the uniqueness of solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation, based on characteristics. Given a conservative solution u = u(t, x), an equation is introduced which singles out a unique characteristic curve through each initial point. By studying the evolution of the quantities u and v = 2 arctan u(x) along each characteristic, it is proved that the Cauchy problem with general initial data u(0) is an element of H-1(R) has a unique solution, globally in time.
