In recent years, progress toward the classification of superintegrable systems with higher order integrals of motion has been made. In particular, a complete classification of all exotic potentials with a third or a fourth order integrals,…
Infinitely many explicit solutions of certain second-order differential equations with an apparent singularity of characteristic exponent -2 are constructed by adjusting the parameter of the multi-indexed Laguerre polynomials.
In this survey, we review asymptotic results of some orthogonal polynomials which are relate to the Painlev\'e transcendents. They are obtained by applying Deift-Zhou's nonlinear steepest descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems. In the…
We consider two multi-dimensional generalisations of the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (dKP) equation, both allowing for arbitrary dimensionality, and non-linearity. For one of these generalisations, we characterise all solutions…
We show that the Painleve equations P3-P5 can be derived (in a unified way) from a periodic sequence of Darboux transformations for a Schrodinger problem with quadratic eigenvalue dependency. The general problem naturally divides into three…
Regarding the resolution of singularities for the differential equations of Painlev\'e type, there are important differences between the second-order Painlev\'e equations and those of higher order. Unlike the second-order case, in higher…
In this paper, we establish transcendental entire function $A(z)$ and polynomial $B(z)$ such that the differential equation $f''+A(z)f'+B(z)f=0$, has all non-trivial solution of infinite order. We use the notion of \emph{critical rays} of…
In a 1977 paper of McCoy, Tracy and Wu there appeared for the first time the solution of a Painlev\'e equation in terms of Fredholm determinants of integral operators. This equation is $\psi''(t)+t^{-1}\psi'(t)=(1/2) \sinh 2\psi+2\alpha…
We consider a family of solutions to the Painlev\'e II equation $$ u''(x)=2u^3(x)+xu(x)-\alpha \qquad \textrm{with } \a \in \mathbb{R} \cut \{0\}, $$ which have infinitely many poles on $(-\infty, 0)$. Using Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest…
We analyze the polynomial solutions of the linear differential equation $p_2(x)y''+p_1(x)y'+p_0(x)y=0$ where $p_j(x)$ is a $j^{\rm th}$-degree polynomial. We discuss all the possible polynomial solutions and their dependence on the…
We present a new one parameter family of second derivative discontinuous solutions to the simplest scale invariant linear ordinary differential equation. We also point out how the construction could be extended to generate families of…
We represent and analyze the general solution of the sixth Painleve transcendent in the Picard-Hitchin-Okamoto class in the Painleve form as the logarithmic derivative of the ratio of certain $\tau$-functions. These functions are…
Second-order estimates are established for solutions to the $p$-Laplace system with right-hand side in $L^2$. The nonlinear expression of the gradient under the divergence operator is shown to belong to $W^{1,2}$, and hence to enjoy the…
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…
It is well-known that the first and second Painlev\'e equations admit solutions characterised by divergent asymptotic expansions near infinity in specified sectors of the complex plane. Such solutions are pole-free in these sectors and…
The paper discusses P$_{III-V}$ equation for special values of its parameters for which this equation reduces to P$_{III}$, I$_{12}$, as well as, to some special cases of I$_{38}$ and I$_{49}$ equations from the Ince's list of $50$ second…

We review some occurrences of Painlev\'e II transcendents in the study of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, fluctuation formulas for growth models, and as distribution functions within random matrix theory. We first discuss settings in…

In this paper we study the equation $$ w^{(4)} = 5 w" (w^2 - w') + 5 w (w')^2 - w^5 + (\lambda z + \alpha)w + \gamma, $$ which is one of the higher-order Painlev\'e equations (i.e., equations in the polynomial class having the Painlev\'e…
