On a Periodic Soliton Cellular Automaton
We propose a box and ball system with a periodic boundary condition (pBBS).
The time evolution rule of the pBBS is represented as a Boolean recurrence
formula, an inverse ultradiscretization of which is shown to be equivalent with
the algorithm of the calculus for the 2Nth root. The relations to the pBBS of
the combinatorial R matrix of are also discussed.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
Max-Plus Algebra for Complex Variables and Its Application to Discrete Fourier Transformation
A generalization of the max-plus transformation, which is known as a method
to derive cellular automata from integrable equations, is proposed for complex
numbers. Operation rules for this transformation is also studied for general
number of complex variables. As an application, the max-plus transformation is
applied to the discrete Fourier transformation. Stretched coordinates are
introduced to obtain the max-plus transformation whose imaginary part coinsides
with a phase of the discrete Fourier transformation
Two-dimensional soliton cellular automaton of deautonomized Toda-type
A deautonomized version of the two-dimensional Toda lattice equation is
presented. Its ultra-discrete analogue and soliton solutions are also
discussed.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX fil
The A^{(1)}_M automata related to crystals of symmetric tensors
A soliton cellular automaton associated with crystals of symmetric tensor
representations of the quantum affine algebra U'_q(A^{(1)}_M) is introduced. It
is a crystal theoretic formulation of the generalized box-ball system in which
capacities of boxes and carriers are arbitrary and inhomogeneous. Scattering
matrices of two solitons coincide with the combinatorial R matrices of
U'_q(A^{(1)}_{M-1}). A piecewise linear evolution equation of the automaton is
identified with an ultradiscrete limit of the nonautonomous discrete KP
equation. A class of N soliton solutions is obtained through the
ultradiscretization of soliton solutions of the latter.Comment: 45 pages, latex2e, 2 figure
