Abstract One soliton of particle velocity and its amplitude (maximum particle velocity of one soliton) in Toda lattice is given analytically. It has also been known numerically that the maximum particle velocity (when the collision of two solitons reaches their maximum, we define Vn at this time as its maximum particle velocity) during the collision of two solitons moving in the same direction is equal to the difference between the amplitudes of two solitons if the difference is large enough; however, the maximum particle velocity is equal to the adding up of the amplitudes of two solitons moving in the opposite directions. The relationship between the maximum value of e-rn-1 and their initial amplitude of e-rn-1 is also given analytically in Toda lattice if the amplitudes of the two solitons are the same and their moving directions are opposite. Compared with the Boussinesq equation, there are differences between the Toda lattice equation and the Boussinesq equation for solitons during the collision.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
