Abstract
J.Stat.Mech.0608:P08006,2006 We propose a Bethe-Ansatz-type solution of the open spin-1/2 integrable XXZ
quantum spin chain with general integrable boundary terms and bulk anisotropy
values i \pi/(p+1), where p is a positive integer. All six boundary parameters
are arbitrary, and need not satisfy any constraint. The solution is in terms of
generalized T - Q equations, having more than one Q function. We find numerical
evidence that this solution gives the complete set of 2^N transfer matrix
eigenvalues, where N is the number of spins.
