  The possibility of generating stable anisotropic solitons in dipolar
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) leads to a different scenario not possible in
a nondipolar BEC with contact interaction. We study the statics and dynamics of
anisotropic bright solitons in quasi-two-dimensional BECs consisting of
polarized dipolar atoms.We study the collision dynamics of two such solitons at
different velocities for different angles between the polarization and
collision directions. The collision is found to be quasi elastic at large
velocities. At small velocities the collision is inelastic leading to the
formation of a coalesced soliton in an excited scissors mode, monopole mode or
quadrupole mode. Also, at small velocities, after collision, a large change of
direction of motion of the solitons is possible. The investigation is performed
through a numerical solution of the underlying mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii
equation.
