This paper is devoted to the study of a recently derived periodic shallow water equation. We discuss in detail the blow-up scenario of strong solutions and present several conditions on the initial profile, which ensure the occurrence of wave breaking. We also present a family of global weak solutions, which may be viewed as global periodic shock waves to the equation under discussion.

Abstract The local well-posedness for the Cauchy problem of a nonlinear shallow water equation is established. The wave-breaking mechanisms, global existence, and infinite propagation speed of solutions to the equation are derived under certain assumptions. In addition, the effects of coefficients λ, β, a, b, and index k in the equation are illustrated.
