We generalize the determinant representation of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili τ functions to the case of the 2D Toda τ functions. The generating functions for the weighted Hurwitz numbers are a parametric family of 2D Toda τ functions, for which we give a determinant representation of weighted Hurwitz numbers. Then, we can get a finite-dimensional equation system for the weighted Hurwitz numbers [Formula: see text] with the same dimension | σ| = | ω| = n. Using this equation system, we calculated…
