Abstract
Any state of the box–ball system (BBS) together with its time evolution is described by the N-soliton solution (with appropriate choice of N) of the ultradiscrete KdV equation. It is shown that simultaneous elimination of all ‘10’-walls in a state of the BBS corresponds exactly to reducing the parameters that determine ‘the size of a soliton’ by one. This observation leads to an expression for the solution to the initial-value problem (IVP) for the BBS. Expressions for the solution to the IVP for the ultradiscrete Toda molecule equation and the periodic BBS are also presented.
