abstract
We investigate the possible regular solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for the vertex models associated with the $A_{n-1}^{(1)}$ affine Lie algebra. We have classified them in two classes of solutions. The first class consists of $n(n-1)/2$ K-matrix solutions with three free parameters. The second class are solutions that depend on the parity of $n$. For $n$ odd there exist $n$ reflection matrices with $2+[n/2]$ free parameters. It turns out that for $n$ even there exist $n/2$ K-matrices with $2+n/2$ free parameters and $n/2$ K-matrices with $1+n/2$ free parameters.
