On measures of accretion and dissipation for solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation

We investigate the measures of dissipation and accretion related to the weak solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation. Demonstrating certain properties of nonunique characteristics, we prove a new representation formula for these measures and conclude about their structural features, such us singularity with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We apply these results to gain new insights into the structure of weak solutions, proving in particular that measures of accretion vanish for dissipative solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation.
