These novel dynamical peakons exhibit a wide variety of di erent behaviours for their amplitude, speed, and accelera- tion, including an oscillatory amplitude and constant speed which describes a peakon breather. Examples are presented of families of nonlinear dispersive wave equations that illustrate various interesting behaviours, such as asymp- totic travelling-wave peakons, dissipating/anti-dissipating peakons, direction- reversing peakons, runaway and blow up peakons, among others.}, keywords = {Nonlinear dispersive wave equation}, keywords = {peaked wave}, keywords = {peakon}, keywords = {dynamical peakon system}, title = {Accelerating dynamical peakons and their behaviour}, doi = {10.3934/dcds.2019267}, author = {Anco, Stephen C. and Recio Rodríguez, Elena}, }
