We establish the local well-posedness of a recently derived model for small-amplitude, shallow water waves. For a large class of initial data we prove global existence of the corresponding solution. Criteria guaranteeing the development of singularities in finite time for strong solutions with smooth initial data are obtained, and an existence and uniqueness result for a class of global weak solutions is also given. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
