Motivated by applications in computational anatomy, we consider a second-order problem in the calculus of variations on object manifolds that are acted upon by Lie groups of smooth invertible transformations. This problem leads to solution…
We take a third-order approach to the fourth Painlev\'e equation and indicate the value of such an approach to other second-order ODEs in the Painlev\'e-Gambier list of 50.
In the first section of this work we introduce 4-dimensional Power Geometry for second-order ODEs of a polynomial form. In the next five sections we apply this construction to the first five Painlev\'e equations.
For each of the forty-eight exceptional algebraic solutions $u(x)$ of the sixth equation of Painlev\'e, we build the algebraic curve $P(u,x)=0$ of a degree conjectured to be minimal, then we give an optimal parametric representation of it.…

We examine whether the Painleve property is necessary for the integrability of partial differential equations (PDEs). We show that in analogy to what happens in the case of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) there exists a class of…
The isomonodromy deformation equation for a 2x2 matrix linear ODE with a large parameter can be locally reduced to a (hyper)elliptic equation. To globalize this result, we apply the isomonodromy deformation method and obtain the modulation…
Metrics on shape space are used to describe deformations that take one shape to another, and to determine a distance between them. We study a family of metrics on the space of curves, that includes several recently proposed metrics, for…
Motivated by applications in the field of shape analysis, we study reparametrization invariant, fractional order Sobolev-type metrics on the space of smooth regular curves $\operatorname{Imm}(S^1,\mathbb{R}^d)$ and on its Sobolev…
We present the discrete, q-, form of the Painlev\'e VI equation written as a three-point mapping and analyse the structure of its singularities. This discrete equation goes over to P_{VI} at the continuous limit and degenerates towards the…
The linearizability of differential equations was first considered by Lie for scalar second order semi-linear ordinary differential equations. Since then there has been considerable work done on the algebraic classification of linearizable…
