Abstract
Recently Dabholkar and Vafa proposed that closed string tachyon potential for non-supersymmetric orbifold in terms of the solution of a equation. We extend this result to for . Interestingly, the tachyon potentials for and 4 are still given in terms of the solutions of Painleve III type equation that appeared in the study of with different boundary conditions. For case, governing equations are of generalized Toda type. The potential is monotonically decreasing function of RG flow.
