Review text

The authors starts with the remark that two solutions of the differential equation \[ y+\{\lambda +n(n+1)\text{sech}^2(x)\}y(x,\lambda)=0 \] where \(\lambda=-s^2\) is a spectral parameter, \(n\) a positive integer, can be given explicitly by contour integrals \[ y_1=\text{cosh}^{n+1}x\int_C\text{cosh}(sz)(\text{sinh}z-\text{sinh}x)^{-n-1}\,dz \] and \[ y_2=\text{cosh}^{n+1}x\int_C\text{sinh}(sz)(\text{sinh}z-\text{sinh}x)^{-n-1}\,dz, \] where the contour \(C\) is taken round the point \(z=x\) and no other zero of \(\text{sinh}z-\text{sinh}x\). Let \(Y(x,\lambda)=y_1-y_2\), i.e., \[ Y(x,\lambda)=\text{cosh}^{n+1}x\int_Ce^{-sz}(\text{sinh}z-\text{sinh}x)^{-n-1}\,dz. \] The authors determine the explicit values for \(s\) and \(\lambda\) in the cases when \(Y(0)=0\) and \(Y'(0)=0\).
