Popis: We analyse the detail of interactions of two-dimensional solitary waves called lumps and one-dimensional line solitons within the framework of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation describing wave processes in media with positive dispersion. We show that line solitons can emit or absorb lumps or periodic chains of lumps; they can interact with each other by means of lumps. Within a certain time interval, lumps or lump chains can emerge between two line solitons and disappear then due to absorption by one of the solitons. This phenomenon resembles the appearance of rogue waves in the oceans. The results obtained are graphically illustrated and can be applicable to the description of physical processes occurring in plasma, fluids, solids, nonlinear optical media, and other fields.
