We investigate numerically the interactions of two in-phase and out-of-phase Airy beams and nonlinear (NL) accelerating beams in Kerr and saturable NL media, in one transverse dimension. We find that bound and unbound soliton pairs, as well as single solitons, can form in such interactions. If the i...
