Abstract
A wide class of nonlinear dispersive wave equations are shown to possess a novel type of peakon solution in which the amplitude and speed of the peakon are time-dependent. These novel dynamical peakons exhibit a wide variety of different behaviours for their amplitude, speed, and acceleration, including an oscillatory amplitude and constant speed which describes a peakon breather. Examples are presented of families of nonlinear dispersive wave equations that illust rate various interesting behaviours, such as asymptotic travelling-wave peakons, dissipating/anti-dissipating peakons, direction-reversing peakons, runaway and blow up peakons, among others.
