In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a two-component higher order Camassa-Holm systems with fractional inertia operator A = (1 − ∂ 2 x ) r , r ≥ 1, which was proposed by Escher and Lyons [19]. By the transport equation theory and Littlewood-Paley decomposition, we obtain that the local wellposedness of solutions for the system in nonhomogeneous Besov spaces B s p,q × B s−2r+1 p,q with 1 ≤ p, q ≤ +∞ and the Besov index s > max 2r + 1 p , 2r + 1 − 1 p . Moreover, we construct the local well-posedness in the critical Besov space B 2r+ 1 2 2,1 × B 3 2 2,1 . On the other hand, the propagation behaviour of compactly supported solutions is examined, namely whether solutions which are initially compactly supported will retain this property throughout their time of evolution. Moreover, we also establish the persistence properties of the solutions to the two-component Camassa-Holm equation with r = 1 in weighted L p φ := L p (R, φ p (x)dx) spaces for a large class of moderate weights.
