Abstract
An estimate is made for the critical angle separating the regions of w eak (large angles of collision) and strong (small angles) interactions of colliding solitons. An analytical theory is constructed that makes it possible to calculate parameters of scattered solitons for weak in teractions. It is shown that in the case of central collisions of spat ial solitons they freely pass through one another and act as tradition al one-dimensional solitons.
