We give a survey of the connection between orthogonal polynomials, Toda lattices and related lattices, and Painlev\'e equations (discrete and continuous).
The discrete Painlev\'e I equation (dP$\rm_I$) is an integrable difference equation which has the classical first Painlev\'e equation (P$\rm_I$) as a continuum limit. dP$\rm_I$ is believed to be integrable because it is the discrete…
We consider the class of biorthogonal polynomials that are used to solve the inverse spectral problem associated to elementary co-adjoint orbits of the Borel group of upper triangular matrices; these orbits are the phase space of…
The first five classical Painlev\'e equations are known to have solutions described by divergent asymptotic power series near infinity. Here we prove that such solutions also exist for the infinite hierarchy of equations associated with the…
We study asymptotics of eigenvalues, eigenfunctions and norming constants of singular energy-dependent Sturm--Liouville equations with complex-valued potentials. The analysis essentially exploits the integral representation of solutions,…
We prove that there exists a one-parameter meromorphic solution $u(\tau)$ vanishing at $\tau=0$ of the degenerate third Painlev\'e equation, \begin{equation*} u^{\prime \prime}(\tau) \! = \! \frac{(u^{\prime}(\tau))^{2}}{u(\tau)} \! - \!…
We use exponential asymptotic analysis to identify the relevance of Stokes' phenomenon to integrability in discrete systems. We study Stokes' phenomenon in two discrete problems with the same (leading-order) continuous limit, a…
We describe all smooth solutions of the two-function tt*-Toda equations (a version of the tt* equations, or equations for harmonic maps into SL(n,R)/SO(n)) in terms of (i) asymptotic data, (ii) holomorphic data, and (iii) monodromy data.…
In this work we develop an algorithmic procedure for associating a function defined on the Riemann surface of the $\log$ to given asymptotic data from a function at an essential singularity. We do this by means of rational approximations…
We derive new asymptotic formulae for the norming constants of Sturm-Liouville problem with summable potentials, which generalize and make more precise previously known formulae. Moreover, our formulae take into account the smooth…
In this paper, we address the Painlev\'e aymptotics in the transition region $|\xi|:=\big|\frac{x}{2t}\big| \approx 1$ to the Cauchy problem of the defocusing Schr$\ddot{\text{o}}$dinger equation with a nonzero background.With the…
This paper studies the space of monodromy data of second order $q$-difference equations through the framework of WKB analysis. We compute the connection matrices associated to the Stokes phenomenon of WKB wavefunctions and develop a general…
We propose a method for computing any Gelfand-Dickey tau function living in Segal-Wilson Grassmannian as the asymptotics of block Toeplitz determinant associated to a certain class of symbols. Also truncated block Toeplitz determinants…
We study the Dirichlet problem for first order hyperbolic quasi-linear functional PDEs on a simply connected bounded domain of $\R^2$, where the domain has an interior outflow set and a mere inflow boundary. While the question of existence…
We provide a complete classification and an explicit representation of rational solutions to the fourth Painlev\'e equation PIV and its higher order generalizations known as the $A_{2n}$-Painlev\'e or Noumi-Yamada systems. The construction…
The asymptotic solution for the Painleve-2 equation with small parameter is considered. The solution has algebraic behavior before point $t_*$ and fast oscillating behavior after the point $t_*$. In the transition layer the behavior of the…
We introduce certain B\"acklund transformations for rational solutions of the Painlev\'e VI equation. These transformations act ona family of Painlev\'e VI tau functions. They are obtained from reducing the Hirota bilinear equations that…
We derive an explicit formula for the connected $(n,m)$-point functions associated to an arbitrary diagonal tau-function $\tau_f(\boldsymbol{t}^+,\boldsymbol{t}^-)$ of the 2d Toda lattice hierarchy using fermionic computations and the…
In this work we show that the $ N\times N $ Toeplitz determinants with the symbols $ z^{\mu}\exp(-{1/2}\sqrt{t}(z+1/z)) $ and $ (1+z)^{\mu}(1+1/z)^{\nu}\exp(tz) $ -- known $\tau$-functions for the \PIIIa and \PV systems -- are characterised…
We consider real-valued solutions $u=u(x|s),x\in\mathbb{R}$ of the second Painlev\'e equation $u_{xx}=xu+2u^3$ which are parametrized in terms of the monodromy data $s\equiv(s_1,s_2,s_3)\subset\mathbb{C}^3$ of the associated Flaschka-Newell…
