Recently we have described a mechanical system which exhibits spontaneous breaking of Z_2 symmetry and related topological kinks called compactons. The corresponding field potential is not differentiable at its global minima. Therefore, standard derivation of dispersion relation $\omega(k)$ for small perturbations around the ground state can not be applied. In the present paper we obtain the dispersion relation. It turns out that evolution equation remains nonlinear even for arbitrarily small perturbations. The shape of the resulting running wave is piecewise combined from cosh functions. We also analyse dynamics of the symmetry breaking transition. It turns out that the number of produced compacton-anticompacton pairs strongly depends on the form of initial perturbation of the unstable former ground state.
