Abstract

We consider a family of tronqu\'{e}e solutions of the Painelv\'{e} II equation \begin{equation*} q''(s)=2q(s)^3+sq(s)-(2\alpha+\frac12), \qquad \alpha > -\frac12, \end{equation*} which is characterized by the Stokes multipliers s1=e2απi,s2=ω,s3=e2απis_1=-e^{-2\alpha \pi i },\quad s_2=\omega, \quad s_3=-e^{2 \alpha \pi i} with ω\omega being a free parameter. These solutions include the well-known generalized Hastings-McLeod solution as a special case if ω=0\omega=0. We derive asymptotics of integrals of the tronqu\'{e}e solutions and the associated Hamiltonians over the real axis for α>1/2\alpha > -1/2 and ω0\omega \geq 0, with the constant terms evaluated explicitly. Our results agree with those already known in the literature if the parameters α\alpha and ω\omega are chosen to be special values. Some applications of our results in random matrix theory are also discussed.
