Both the RE scheme and the Lax pair formulation can demonstrate the integrability of the model. There is one special case where only the Lax pair formulation works for the model without crossing unitarity [
15], while the RE scheme does not. When solving the RE, one has to take into account the spectral parameter and the crossing parameter. In the last step, a thorough classified discussion of the spectral parameter is needed to determine the concrete entries of the
K-matrices. The Lax pair formulation starts with the designed boundaries Hamiltonians
H1 and
HN. If the assumed boundary Hamiltonians happen to guarantee the integrability of the system, then one can definitely get the correct
M operators and
K-matrices by finishing certain procedures. Although the whole calculation is lengthy, we do not have to consider the spectral parameters in the procedures, and the boundary Hamiltonians can be seen as constants in the derivations. This means that the Lax pair formulation has advantages in dealing with supersymmetric models, especially for non-diagonal boundary cases.
