We show that there exists a rational change of coordinates of Painlev\'e's P1 equation $y''=6y^2+x$ and of the elliptic equation $y''=6y^2$ after which these two equations become analytically equivalent in a region in the complex phase…
Point transformations for the ordinary differential equations of the form $y''=P(x,y)+3 Q(x,y) y'+3 R(x,y) (y')^2+S(x,y) (y')^3$ are considered. Some classical results are resumed. Solution for the equivalence problem for the equations of…

It is well-known that differential Painlev\'e equations can be written in a Hamiltonian form. However, a coordinate form of such representation is far from unique -- there are many very different Hamiltonians that result in the same…
For an arbitrary ordinary second order differential equation a test is constructed that checks if this equation is equivalent to Painleve I, II or Painleve III with three zero parameters equations under the substitutions of variables. If it…
This paper is devoted to ordinary differential equations of the form $$y''=a^3(x,y)y'^3+a^2(x,y)y'^2+a^1(x,y)y'+a^0(x,y)$$ The algebra of all differential invariants of point transformations is constructed for these equations in general…
We show that the strongly minimal second Painlev\'e equation (y" = 2y^3+ty+\alpha) is geometrically trivial, that is we show that if y_1,...,y_n are distinct solutions such that y_1,y_1',y_2,y_2',...,y_n,y_n' are algebraically dependent…
We find the group of equivalence transformations for equations of the form $y''= A(x)y' + F(y),$ where $A$ and $F$ are arbitrary functions. We then give a complete group classification of these families of equations, using a direct method…
We show that the local equivalence problem for second-order ordinary differential equations under point transformations is completely characterized by differential invariants of order at most 10 and that this upper bound is sharp. We also…
The sixth Painlev\'e equation is a basic equation among the non-linear differential equations with three fixed singularities, corresponding to Gauss's hypergeometric differential equation among the linear differential equations. It is known…

Consider the solution $y(t)$ for the ordinary differential equation $y' = f(t, y)$ with $t$ complex. Second-order nonlinear differential equations often exhibit patterns in their poles, branch points, and essential singularities, explored…
In this work we propose a new method for investigating connection problems for the class of nonlinear second-order differential equations known as the Painlev{\'e} equations. Such problems can be characterized by the question as to how the…

We prove that if y" = f(y,y',t) is a generic Painleve equation from among the classes II to V then any collection of distinct solutions and their derivatives are algebraically independent over C(t). (Already proved by Nishioka for the…
We develop a qualitative theory for real solutions of the equation $y''=6y^2 -x$. In this work a restriction $x\leq0$ is assumed. An important ingredient of our theory is the introduction of several new transcendental functions of one, two,…
Painleve equations belong to the class y'' + a_1 {y'}^3 + 3 a_2 {y'}^2 + 3 a_3 y' + a_4 = 0, where a_i=a_i(x,y). This class of equations is invariant under the general point transformation x=Phi(X,Y), y=Psi(X,Y) and it is therefore very…
