Inverse scattering and solitons in affine Toda field theories II
New single soliton solutions to the affine Toda field theories are
constructed, exhibiting previously unobserved topological charges. This goes
some of the way in filling the weights of the fundamental representations, but
nevertheless holes in the representations remain. We use the group doublecross
product form of the inverse scattering method, and restrict ourselves to the
rank one solutions.Comment: 19 pages, latex, 12 fig
Yamamoto's theorem for generalized singular values
AbstractWe extend Yamamoto's theorem, an asymptotic result that relates the ith largest absolute eigenvalue to the ith singular value for complex matrices, to various generalized singular values associated with a class of functions weaker than norms
A Framework to Manage the Complex Organisation of Collaborating: Its Application to Autonomous Systems
In this paper we present an analysis of the complexities of large group
collaboration and its application to develop detailed requirements for
collaboration schema for Autonomous Systems (AS). These requirements flow from
our development of a framework for collaboration that provides a basis for
designing, supporting and managing complex collaborative systems that can be
applied and tested in various real world settings. We present the concepts of
"collaborative flow" and "working as one" as descriptive expressions of what
good collaborative teamwork can be in such scenarios. The paper considers the
application of the framework within different scenarios and discuses the
utility of the framework in modelling and supporting collaboration in complex
organisational structures
Communicating the Value of Ergonomics to Management – Part 2: Ergonomics ROI Case Study Applications
More than ever, human factors engineers and ergonomists need to justify our practice’s value to management. How can we effectively communicate with management? How should we present a Return on Investment (ROI) that leadership will find useful that addresses company profits, cost savings, productivity, first time quality, and turnover? What else does management care about other than ROI? This second panel in a two panel series will specifically highlight case studies in which presenters give examples of situations in which ROI for ergonomics was investigated from a business value. The session will start with four case study lectures followed by a panel discussion led by the moderators. The audience will be encouraged to participate with their own questions and comments
