Abstract
The existence of global weak solutions for a dissipative model equation for shallow water wave of moderate amplitude is studied in the space without the sign condition on the initial value by employing the limit technique of viscous approximation. A new one-sided lower bound and the higher integrability estimate act a key role in our analysis. Our results partly extend the work of Coclite et al. on the existence of global weak solutions to the generalized hyperlastic-rod equation.
