摘要
We study analytically the interaction of the solitary waves of the regularized long-wave equation proposed by Peregrine and Benjamin et al. It is shown in the long-wave limit that the solitary waves interact inelastically, and that a new solitary wave as well as a radiation tail are generated as a result of the interaction. The result agrees with the numerical observation made by Bona et al. The analysis presented here can also be applied to the general weakly dispersive nonlinear wave systems, and it shows that the interaction property holds commonly for the nonintegrable systems. © 1987.
