Abstract
We propose a generalization of the Baxter T-Q relation which involves more than one independent Q(u). We argue that the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the open XXZ quantum spin chain are given by such generalized T-Q relations, for the case that at most two of the boundary parameters {α-, α+, β-, β+} are nonzero, and the bulk anisotropy parameter has values η ≤ iπ/2, iπ/4, ....
