Abstract:
 
 We study the inelastic collision of two solitary waves of different
 velocities for the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation
 with cubic nonlinearity.   It shows that one solitary wave is smaller
 than the other one in  the H^1(R) energy space. We explore the
 sharp estimates of the nonzero   residue due to the collision,
 and prove the inelastic collision of two  solitary waves and nonexistence
 of a pure 2-soliton solution.
