Some explicit solutions of the Lamé and Bourlet type equations (Q1281912)

This paper is devoted to the study of the Lamé equations \[ \partial_i \gamma_{jk}= \gamma_{ji} \gamma_{ik}, \quad i\neq j\neq k,\tag{1} \] \[ \partial_i \gamma_{ij}+ \partial_j \gamma_{ji}+ \sum_{k\neq i,j}\gamma_{ki} \gamma_{kj}= 0,\quad i\neq j\tag{2} \] where the notation \(i\neq j\neq k\) means that \(i,j,k\) are distinct, and the Bourlet type equations \[ \gamma_{ij}= {1 \over\beta_i} \partial_i\beta_j, \quad i\neq j,\tag{3} \] \[ \partial_i \gamma_{jk} =\gamma_{ji} \gamma_{ik}, \quad i\neq j\neq k,\tag{4} \] \[ \partial_i \gamma_{ij}+ \partial_j \gamma_{ji}+ \sum_{k\neq i,j} \gamma_{ki}\gamma_{kj} +\beta_i \beta_j=0,\;i\neq j \tag{5} \] which specialize to the Bourlet equations in the precise sense when additonally \[ \sum^n_{i=1}\beta_i^2=c, \quad c=\text{const.} \tag{6} \] The authors obtain classes of explicit solutions to the Lamé equations (1), (2) and to the Bourlet type equations (3), (4) and (5) with and without condition (6).
