“…To date all cases in which the functional method has been used to obtained a closed expression were previously tackled using the Korepin-Izergin method. For the six-vertex model the domainwall partition function [8,32] was of course first found by Korepin and Izergin [23,24,28], the reflecting-end partition function [20] by Tsuchiya [43], and the corresponding (off-/on-shell) scalar products of Bethe vectors [13,14] by Slavnov [40], Wang [44] and Kitanine et al [25]. In the dynamical (sos) case the domain-wall partition function [10,12] was found by Rosengren [38], and the reflecting-end partition function [31,32] by Filali and Kitanine [4,5,6].…”
