Abstract
Abstract. In this work we generalise previous results connecting (rational) Gaudin magnet models and classical separation of variables. It is shown that the connection persists for the case of linear r-matrix algebra which corresponds to the trigonometric 4 × 4 r-matrix (of the XXZ type). We comment also on the corresponding problem for the elliptic (XYZ) r-matrix. A prescription for obtaining integrable systems associated with multiple poles of an L-operator is given. 1. Introduction. Separation of variables for the Hamilton-Jacobi and Schrödinger equations have long been known as methods for explicit solution of these equations in appropriate circumstances. The technical requirements for this method of solution have quite fully developed in recent years (see [1–8]). In particular the relationship between the separable systems and the Gaudin magnet [4,9] integrable
