    Summary

    A geometric construction of self-adaptive moving mesh schemes

    Integrable self-adaptive moving mesh schemes have geometricmeaning.

    The geometric method can be applied for nonintegrable geometric PDEssuch as the curve shortening equation.

    We obtained self-adaptive moving mesh discrete schemes forCamassa-Holm, Hunter-Saxton, short pulse, WKI elastic beam equation,Harry Dym equation, coupled short pulse equation, modified magmaequation, curve shortening equation.

    Self-adaptive moving mesh schemes can be used for non-integrablegeometric PDEs.

    For some equations (short pulse, WKI elastic beam, Hunter-Saxton,Harry Dym, modified magma), we also obtained fully discreteself-adaptive moving mesh schemes. But the fully discretization of theCamassa-Holm equation is an open problem.
