The KP equation coupled with the generalized play operator is studied in this paper in order to explain the dilatonic behavior of the soliton interaction and the generation of huge waves in shallow waters. Hirota bilinear method and results from a nonlinear semigroup theory are applied to simulate the resonant soliton interactions.
