An integro-differential equation satisfied by an eigenvalue density defined as the logarithmic derivative of the average inverse characteristic polynomial of a Wilson loop in two-dimensional pure Yang–Mills theory with gauge group SU(N) is derived from two associated complex Burgers' equations, with viscosity given by 12N. The Wilson loop does not intersect itself and Euclidean space–time is assumed flat and infinite. This result provides an extension of the infinite N solution of Durhuus and Olesen to finite N, but this extension is not unique.
