Box and ball system as a realization of ultradiscrete nonautonomous KP equation

Cellular automata, which are realized by dynamics of several kinds of balls in an infinite array of boxes, are investigated. They show soliton patterns even in the case when each box has arbitrary capacity. The analytical expression for the soliton patterns are obtained using ultradiscretization of the nonautonomous discrete KP equation.
