Abstract

In the world of scientific investigations, we are often facing the situation that a complex problem or the fascination of a given idea forces us to focus so much that we have a tendency to overlook the things, which should have been the true inspiration of our work. Many times, it is first at the point, when we have determined a solution to a simple sub-problem that we might generalize the finding and obtain a wider perspective. Then the situation becomes even more rewarding, when we from the more general theory become able to solve new and unforeseen problems, which at first glance had very little to do with the first sub-problem.
