It is found that two different celebrate models, the Korteweg de-Vrise (KdV)
equation and the Boussinesq equation, are linked to a same model equation but
with different nonlocalities. The model equation is called the Alice-Bob KdV
(ABKdV) equation which was derived from the usual KdV equation via the
so-called consistent correlated bang (CCB) companied by the shifted parity (SP)
and delayed time reversal (DTR). The same model can be called as the Alice-Bob
Boussinesq (ABB) system if the nonlocality is changed as only one of SP and
DTR. For the ABB systems, with help of the bilinear approach and recasting the
multi-soliton solutions of the usual Boussinesq equation to an equivalent novel
form, the multi-soliton solutions with even numbers and the head on
interactions are obtained. However, the multi-soliton solutions with odd
numbers and the multi-soliton solutions with even numbers but with pursuant
interactions are prohibited. For the ABKdV equation, the multi-soliton
solutions exhibit many more structures because an arbitrary odd function of
x+t can be introduced as background waves of the usual KdV equation.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
