Abstract. In this work we generalise previous results connecting (rational) Gaudin magnet models and classical separation of variables. It is shown that the connection persists for the case of linear r-matrix algebra which corresponds to the trigonometric

The only di erence is that in this case a solution of the problem via separation of variables is not yet known1 but the coalescing of indices goes through just as before. Indeed, the operator L(u) can be taken just as in (1.1). The non zero elements of the r-matrix in this case are? dn( u) r(u)11= r(u)44= cn(u); r(u)14= r(u)41= 1 2sn(u)u); sn( (3.1) We now make the ansatz 1 u) A(u)= cn(u) S3; B (u)= 2sn(u) (1+ dn(u))S?+ (1? dn(u))S+]; sn( 1 C (u)= 2sn(u) (1+ dn(u))S++ (1? dn(u))S?]:+ dn( r(u)23= r(u)32= 1 2sn(u)u):
