We analyze solutions to a superconducting gap equation based on the two-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest and next-to-nearest neighbor hopping. The Cooper pair potential can be calculated exactly and expressed in terms of elliptic functions. The Fermi surfaces at finite temperature and chemical potential are calculated based on the exact two-body S-matrix of the Hubbard model using the formalism we recently developed, which allows variation of hole doping. The resulting solutions to the gap equation are strongly anisotropic, namely largest in the anti-nodal direction, and zero in the nodal directions of the Brillouin zone. For U/t = 13 and t' /t =-0.3, appropriate to BSCO, and a physically natural choice for the cut-off, our self-contained analytic calculations yield the gap in the anti-nodal direction Delta/t = 0.06 and a maximum Tc/t = 0.04 at hole doping h=0.15. For phenomenological fits to the Fermi surfaces for cuprates, we obtain the comparable value Tc/t = 0.03 at optimal doping, both in good agreement with experiments. The superconducting gap is non-zero for all hole-doping h < 0.35, and increases all the way down to zero doping, suggesting that it evolves into the pseudogap.
