Peakon and Foldon Excitations In a (2+1)-Dimensional Breaking Soliton System

Starting from the standard truncated Painlevé expansion and a variable separation approach, a general variable separation solution of the breaking soliton system is derived. In addition to the usual localized coherent soliton excitations like dromions, lumps, rings, breathers, instantons, oscillating soliton excitations, and previously revealed chaotic and fractal localized solutions, some new types of excitations, peakons and foldons, are obtained by introducing appropriate lower dimensional piecewise smooth functions and multiple valued functions.
