Global semigroup of conservative weak solutions of the two-component Novikov equation

We study the Cauchy problem for the two-component Novikov system with initial data $u_0, v_0$ in $H^1(\mathbb{R})$ such that the product $(\partial_x u_0)\partial_x v_0$ belongs to $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. We construct a global semigroup of conservative weak solutions. We also discuss the potential concentration phenomena of $(\partial_x u)^2dx$, $(\partial_x v)^2dx$, and $\left((\partial_x u)^2(\partial_x v)^2\right)dx$, which contribute to wave-breaking and may occur for a set of time with nonzero measure. Finally, we establish the continuity of the data-to-solution map in the uniform norm.
