Assuming a specified condition restricting the time step in terms of the spatial discretization parameter, we prove that the difference scheme converges stongly in H 1 towards a dissipative weak solution of Camassa-Holm equation.}, year = {2008}, journal = {Advances in Differential Equations}, volume = {13}, number = {7-8}, pages = {681-732}, }
