Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around locating a specific academic paper titled "The discrete self-trapping equation" by J.C. Eilbeck, P.S. Lomdahl, and A.C. Scott, published in Physica D in 1985. Participants share their experiences and challenges in accessing this paper through university libraries.

Discussion Character

  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Several participants express difficulty in accessing the paper due to library restrictions, particularly regarding the availability of materials published before 1995.
  • One participant mentions that their university library has physical volumes from 1980 onward but lacks electronic access to earlier papers.
  • A later reply offers assistance, indicating a willingness to discuss the paper further with those who may have trouble accessing it.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the challenges of accessing older academic papers, but there is no consensus on a solution, as experiences with library resources vary.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the specific access policies of different university libraries and the reliance on physical versus electronic resources.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in theoretical physics, particularly those seeking historical academic papers or discussing access to scientific literature.

Can anybody help me find a paper?
The name is "The discrete self-trapping equation", or "J.C. Eilbeck, P.S. Lomdahl, A.C. Scott, Physica D 16 (1985) 318."

Thank you very much !

The library of my university only provides a paper after 1995, so...

thank you all the same

My library only has electronic access after 1995 as well.

We have the actual bound paper volumes from 1980 onward, but I'm too lazy to make a physical (non-virtual) trip to the library. Cheers.

I see. So You can read only tales about subject...

Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it. Niels Bohr (1885 - 1962) It's a pity, You can't read even Bohr, without particle "re".
