Hard loss of stability in Painlev\'e-2 equation

Mathematical Physics 2015-06-26 v1 math.MP

Abstract

A special asymptotic solution of the Painlev\'e-2 equation with small parameter is studied. This solution has a critical point tt_* corresponding to a bifurcation phenomenon. When t<tt<t_* the constructed solution varies slowly and when t>tt>t_* the solution oscillates very fast. We investigate the transitional layer in detail and obtain a smooth asymptotic solution, using a sequence of scaling and matching procedures.
