Abstract
It is well known that the Sylvester matrix equation AX + XB = C has a unique solution X if and only if 0 ∉ spec( A) + spec( B). The main result of the present article are explicit formulas for the determinant of X in the case that C is one-dimensional. For diagonal matrices A, B, we reobtain a classical result by Cauchy as a special case. The formulas we obtain are a cornerstone in the asymptotic classification of multiple pole solutions to integrable systems like the sine-Gordon equation and the Toda lattice. We will provide a concise introduction to the background from soliton theory, an operator theoretic approach originating from work of Marchenko and Carl, and discuss examples for the application of the main results.
