We prove the asymptotic stability in $H^1(\mathbb R)$ of the family of solitary waves for the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation,

$(1-\partial^2_x)u_t+(u+u^2)_x=0.$

We prove that a solution initially close to a solitary wave, once conveniently translated, converges weakly in $H^1(\mathbb R)$, as time goes to infinity, to a possibly different solitary wave. The proof is based on a Liouville type theorem for the flow close to the solitary waves, and makes an extensive use of a monotonicity property.

Keywords: regularized long-wave equation, BBM equation., solitary waves, Asymptotic stability.
