Abstract

A cellular automaton (CA) of filter automata type is proposed. Any state of the CA consists only of solitary wave solutions. It is shown that the solitary waves interact with one another preserving their identities during a time evolution. It is also shown that the CA has infinitely many conserved quantities. Hence, this CA may be considered to be one of the simplest soliton systems.
