Comparative Performance Measures of Fuzzy ARTMAP, Learned Vector Quantization, and Back Propagation for Handwritten Character Recognition
This article compares the performance of Fuzzy ARTMAP with that of Learned Vector Quantization and Back Propagation on a handwritten character recognition task. Training with Fuzzy ARTMAP to a fixed criterion used many fewer epochs. Voting with Fuzzy ARTMAP yielded the highest recognition rates.British Petroleum (89-A-1204); Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (90-0083); National Science Foundation (IRI 90-00530); Office of Naval Research (N00014-91-J-4100); Air Force Office of Scientific Research (90-0175); Sharp Corporation, Information System Research & Development Center, Nara, Japa
Is the anomalous decay ratio of D_{sJ}(2632) due to isospin breaking?
Quark pair annihilation into gluons is suppressed at large momenta due to the
asymptotic freedom. As a consequence, mass eigenvalues of heavy states should
be almost diagonal with respect to up and down quark masses, thereby breaking
isospin. We suggest the particle observed by the SELEX Collaboration,
D_{sJ}(2632) to be to a good extent a [cd][dbar sbar] state, which would
explain why its D^0 K^+ mode is anomalously suppressed with respect to D_s eta.
Predictions for the rates of the yet unobserved modes D_s pi^0 and D^+ K^0 are
given.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figur
Comment on "Valence QCD: Connecting QCD to the Quark Model"

Stochastic Process Associated with Traveling Wave Solutions of the Sine-Gordon Equation
Stochastic processes associated with traveling wave solutions of the
sine-Gordon equation are presented. The structure of the forward Kolmogorov
equation as a conservation law is essential in the construction and so is the
traveling wave structure. The derived stochastic processes are analyzed
numerically. An interpretation of the behaviors of the stochastic processes is
given in terms of the equation of motion.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures; corrected typo
A new look at scalar mesons
Light scalar mesons are found to fit rather well a diquark-antidiquark
description. The resulting nonet obeys mass formulae which respect, to a good
extent, the OZI rule. OZI allowed strong decays are reasonably reproduced by a
single amplitude describing the switch of a qbar-q pair, which transforms the
state into two colourless pseudoscalar mesons. Predicted heavy states with one
or more quarks replaced by charm or beauty are briefly described; they should
give rise to narrow states with exotic quantum numbers.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, misprints corrected, references added, accepted

Temperature- and Magnetic-Field-Dependent Optical Properties of Heavy Quasiparticles in YbIr2Si2
We report the temperature- and magnetic-field-dependent optical conductivity
spectra of the heavy electron metal YbIrSi. Upon cooling below the
Kondo temperature (), we observed a typical charge dynamics that is
expected for a formation of a coherent heavy quasiparticle state. We obtained a
good fitting of the Drude weight of the heavy quasiparticles by applying a
modified Drude formula with a photon energy dependence of the quasiparticle
scattering rate that shows a similar power-law behavior as the temperature
dependence of the electrical resistivity. By applying a magnetic field of 6T
below , we found a weakening of the effective dynamical mass
enhancement by about 12% in agreement with the expected decrease of the
-conduction electron hybridization on magnetic field.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. to be published in Journal of the Physical

Far-infrared optical conductivity of CeCu2Si2
Journal ref.: J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 25, 065602 (2013): We investigated
the optical reflectivity of the heavy-fermion metal CeCu2Si2 in the energy
range 3 meV - 30 eV for temperatures between 4K - 300K. The results for the
charge dynamics indicate a behavior that is expected for the formation of a
coherent heavy quasiparticle state: Upon cooling the spectra of the optical
conductivity indicate a narrowing of the coherent response. Below temperatures
of 30 K a considerable suppression of conductivity evolves below a peak
structure at 13 meV. We assign this gap-like feature to strong electron
correlations due to the 4f-conduction electron hybridization.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
