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 use methods from dynamical systems to study the fourth Painleve equation PIV. Our starting point is the symmetric form of PIV, to which the Poincare compactification is applied. The motion on the sphere at infinity can be completely…

We consider a connection problem of the first Painlev\'{e} equation ($\mathrm{P_I}$), trying to connect the local behavior (Laurent series) near poles and the asymptotic behavior as the variable $t$ tends to negative infinity for real…

Hirota's discrete KdV equation is an integrable partial difference equation on $\mathbb{Z}^2$, which approaches the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in a continuum limit. In this paper, we show that its multiplicative-discrete versions have…
We study the completeness and connectedness of asymptotic behaviours of solutions of the first Painlev\'e equation $\op{d}^2y/\op{d}x^2=6\, y^2+ x$, in the limit $x\to\infty$, $x\in\C$. This problem arises in various physical contexts…
The discrete Painlev\'e equations have mathematical properties closely related to those of the differential Painlev\'e equations. We investigate the appearance of elliptic functions as limiting behaviours of $q$-Painlev\'e transcendents,…
We study the nodal set of solutions to equations of the form $$ (-\Delta)^s u = \lambda_+ (u_+)^{q-1} - \lambda_- (u_-)^{q-1}\quad\text{in $B_1$}, $$ where $\lambda_+,\lambda_->0, q \in [1,2)$, and $u_+$ and $u_-$ are respectively the…
We consider the problem of a slender rod slipping along a rough surface. Painlev\'e \cite{Painleve1895, Painleve1905a,Painleve1905b} showed that the governing rigid body equations for this problem can exhibit multiple solutions (the {\it…
We consider a special class of infinite energy solutions to the inviscid incompressible porous medium equations (IPM), introduced in Castro-C\'ordoba-Gancedo-Orive [9]. The (IPM) equations then reduce to a one-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear…
An analysis of possible extension of the Painlev\'e test, to encompass the one-dimensional Vlasov equation, is performed. The extending requires a nontrivial generalization of the test. The proposed singularity analysis provides…

Painleve transcendents are usually considered as complex functions of a complex variable, but in applications it is often the real cases that are of interest. Under a reasonable assumption (concerning the behavior of a dynamical system…
