By Daisuke Takahashi and Junkichi Satsuma. Journal of the Physical Society of Japan 59, 3514–3519, published 15 October 1990. Publisher abstract describes solitary-wave interactions preserving identities and infinitely many conserved quantities. Full text access is restricted; no claim to inspection of the full paper is made. Publisher affiliations identify Takahashi with applied mathematics/informatics and Satsuma with applied physics.

Junkichi Satsuma coauthored A Soliton Cellular Automaton by Daisuke Takahashi and Junkichi Satsuma, introducing a discrete model in which localized patterns interact while preserving their identities. The box-ball system makes soliton behavior visible through an update rule on occupied and empty boxes.
The publisher abstract also describes infinitely many conserved quantities. This contribution connects nonlinear-wave ideas with an explicitly discrete dynamical system, rather than requiring a continuous fluid equation.[ref]
