abstract = {<p>We prove the existence of solitons (finite energy solitary wave) for a Boussinesq system that arise in the study of the evolution of small amplitude long water waves including surface tension. This Boussinesq system reduces to the generalized Benney-Luke equation and to the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashivili equation in appropriate limits. The existence of solitons follows by a variational approach involving the Mountain Pass Theorem without the Palais-Smale condition. For surface tension sufficiently strong, we show that a suitable renormalized family of solitons of this model converges to a nontrivial soliton for the generalized KP-I equation.</p>},
