Nanoscale self-localized topological spin textures, such as domain walls and skyrmions, are of interest for the fundamental physics of magnets and spintronics applications. Ferrimagnets (FiMs), in the region close to the angular momentum compensation point, are promising materials because of their ultrafast spin dynamics at nonzero magnetization. In this work, we study specific features of the FiM domain wall (DW) dynamics, which are absent in both ferromagnets (FM) and antiferromagnets (AFM). In low-damping FMs and AFMs (α≪ 1), the non-stationary forced motion of DWs is characterized by slow (tdiss∝ 1/α) changes of the DW's velocity and internal structure for all accepted values of the DW energy E and its linear momentum P -- a consequence of the stability of DWs for any value of P. In contrast, the dispersion law of FiM DWs has specific points, P=Pcr and Ecr=E(Pcr), such that stable DWs are only present for P
