The graded reflection equations are solved for the one-dimensional Hub
bard open chain. From this the diagonal boundary K supermatrices are o
btained and the commutativity of the transfer matrices for different v
alues of the spectral parameter is shown. The result shows that there
is a graded version of Sklyanin's formalism to treat any one-dimension
al integrable lattice fermion open chain. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.
