These features can be identified in the temperature-dependent spectral function W(omega), inverted from the optical data of the optimally-doped Bi2212 using an experimentally unambiguous method that shows the behavior of both the maxima and minima in the spectral function.4 pages, 4 figuresSuperconductivitytext
