| Abstract: | A corrected version of the Boussinesq equation for long water waves is derived and its general solution for interaction of
any number of solitary waves, including head-on collisions, is given. For two solitary waves in head-on collision (which includes
the case of normal reflection) the results agree with the experiments known. |
