Usually when solving differential or difference equations via series solutions one encounters divergent series in which the coefficients grow like a factorial. Surprisingly, in the $q$-world the $n$th coefficient is often of the size…
The classical Painlev\'e equations are so well known that it may come as a surprise to learn that the asymptotic description of its solutions remains incomplete. The problem lies mainly with the description of families of solutions in the…
This paper is an addendum to earlier papers \cite{R1,R2} in which it was shown that the unstable separatrix solutions for Painlev\'e I and II are determined by $PT$-symmetric Hamiltonians. In this paper unstable separatrix solutions of the…
Unstable separatrix solutions for the first and second Painlev\'e transcendents are studied both numerically and analytically. For a fixed initial condition, say $y(0)=0$, there is a discrete set of initial slopes $y'(0)=b_n$ that give rise…
An algebraic $q$-difference equation is considered. A sufficient condition for the existence of a formal power-logarithmic expansion of a solution to such an equation in the neighborhood of zero is proposed. An example of applying this…
We construct the initial-value space of a $q$-discrete first Painlev\'e equation explicitly and describe the behaviours of its solutions $w(n)$ in this space as $n\to\infty$, with particular attention paid to neighbourhoods of exceptional…
It is well known that the Painlev\'e equations can formally degenerate to autonomous differential equations with elliptic function solutions in suitable scaling limits. A way to make this degeneration rigorous is to apply Deift-Zhou…
An ultradiscrete system corresponding to the $q$-Painlev\'e equation of type $A_6^{(1)}$, which is a $q$-difference analogue of the second Painlev\'e equation, is proposed. Exact solutions with two parameters are constructed for the…
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 first discrete Painlev\'e equation (dPI), which appears in a model of quantum gravity, is an integrable nonlinear nonautonomous difference equation which yields the well known first Painlev\'e equation (PI) in a continuum limit. The…
The `restoration method' is a novel method we recently introduced for systematically deriving discrete Painlev\'e equations. In this method we start from a given Painlev\'e equation, typically with E$_8^{(1)}$ symmetry, obtain its…
We present what we believe to be the first known example of an exact quasiperiodic localized stable solution with spatially symmetric large-amplitude oscillations in a non-integrable Hamiltonian lattice model. The model is a one-dimensional…
The existence of a formal particular solution (family of solutions) of oscillating type under certain conditions has been proved for the quasi-linear ordinary differential equations system. The asymptotic nature of this solution (the family…
Formal series solutions and the Kovalevskaya exponents of a quasi-homogeneous polynomial system of differential equations are studied by means of a weighted projective space and dynamical systems theory. A necessary and sufficient condition…
A q-difference analogue of the fourth Painlev\'e equation is proposed. Its symmetry structure and some particular solutions are investigated.
We consider several models of nonlinear wave equations subject to very strong damping and quasi-periodic external forcing. This is a singular perturbation, since the damping is not the highest order term. We study the existence of response…
We consider the Clarkson-McLeod solutions of the fourth Painlev\'e equation. This family of solutions behave like $\kappa D_{\alpha-\frac{1}{2}}^2(\sqrt{2}x)$ as $x\rightarrow +\infty$, where $\kappa $ is an arbitrary real constant and…

We present a systematic method for the construction of discrete Painlev\'e equations. The method, dubbed `restoration', allows one to obtain all discrete Painlev\'e equations that share a common autonomous limit, up to homographic…
We consider the steady Swift - Hohenberg partial differential equation. It is a one-parameter family of PDE on the plane, modeling for example Rayleigh - B\'enard convection. For values of the parameter near its critical value, we look for…
