The initial value problem for a completely integrable shallow water wave equation is analyzed through its formulation in terms of characteristics. The resulting integro-differential equations give rise to finite dimensional projections onto a class of distributional solutions of the equation, equivalent to taking the Riemann sum approximation of the integrals. These finite dimensional projections are then explicitly solved via a Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization procedure. A particle method based on these reductions is implemented to solve the wave equation numerically.
