Abstract
A sequenceA 1,A 2, ... of ansätze for generating self-dual solutions of the Yang-Mills equations is presented. For eachn,A n produces a solution depending on two arbitrary functions of three variables. As an application, we see thatA 2 generates a static Yang-Mills-Higgs 2-monopole solution.
