Abstract It is shown that the homogenous three-site (trimer) Bose–Hubbard model with a periodic boundary condition can be solved exactly by using an extended Bethe ansatz based on the solution of the dimer model and the site-permutation symmetry. A solution of the model within the S 3 symmetric or non-symmetric subspace is presented. Coupled differential equations of a series of extended Heine–Stieltjes polynomials, the zeros of which are related to the solution of the model, are derived. Numerical examples of the solution of the model with N ⩽ 4 bosons, including the related Heine–Stieltjes polynomials and the Van Vleck polynomials, are presented, which serve to validate the procedure and illustrate the completeness of the solutions they render.
