Eigenvalue problems for linear differential equations, such as time-independent Schr\"odinger equations, can be generalized to eigenvalue problems for nonlinear differential equations. In the nonlinear context a separatrix plays the role of…

The asymptotic behaviour of solutions to $y'(x)=\cos[\pi x y(x)]$ was investigated by Bender, Fring and Komijani \cite{BenderEtAl:2014}. They found, for example, a relation between the initial value $y(0)=a$ and the number of maxima that…

The nonlinear eigenvalue problem of a class of second order semi-transcendental differential equations is studied. A nonlinear eigenvalue is defined as the initial condition which gives rise a separatrix solution. A semi-transcendental…

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…

Using the Riemann-Hilbert approach, the $\Psi$-function corresponding to the solution of the first Painleve equation, $y_{xx}=6y^2+x$, with the asymptotic behavior $y\sim\pm\sqrt{-x/6}$ as $|x|\to\infty$ is constructed. The exponentially…

We study the eigenvalues of the non-self adjoint problem $-y^{\prime\prime}+V(x)y=E y$ on the half-line $0\leq x<+\infty$ under the Robin boundary condition at $x=0$, where $V$ is a monic polynomial of degree $\geq 3$. We obtain a…

The initial value problem of an integrable system, such as the Nonlinear Schr\" odinger equation, is solved by subjecting the linear eigenvalue problem arising from its Lax pair to inverse scattering, and, thus, transforming it to a matrix…
