We show that there exists a rational change of coordinates of Painlev\'e's P1 equation $y''=6y^2+x$ and of the elliptic equation $y''=6y^2$ after which these two equations become analytically equivalent in a region in the complex phase…

We propose a modification of the AKNS hierarchy that includes the "modified" Pohlmeyer-Lund-Regge (mPLR) equation. Similarity reductions of this hierarchy give the second, third, and fourth Painlev\'e equations. Especially, we present a new…

We consider some bilinear recurrences that have applications in number theory. The explicit solution of a general three-term bilinear recurrence relation of fourth order is given in terms of the Weierstrass sigma function for an associated…

As a sequel to Kawakami-Nakamura-Sakai (arXiv:1209.3836), this series of papers constructs the complete degeneration scheme of four-dimensional Painlev\'e-type equations which includes the Painlev\'e-type equations associated with linear…

For a pair of coupled Painlev\'e equations obtained as a similarity reduction of the Hirota-Satsuma systems we describe special parameter-families of solutions given in terms of mixtures of rational and Airy functions, and in terms of a…

The ``Painlev\'e analysis'' is quite often perceived as a collection of tricks reserved to experts. The aim of this course is to demonstrate the contrary and to unveil the simplicity and the beauty of a subject which is in fact the theory…

Recurrence coefficients of semi-classical orthogonal polynomials (orthogonal polynomials related to a weight function $w$ such that $w'/w$ is a rational function) are shown to be solutions of non linear differential equations with respect…

It is proved that the Painlev\'{e} VI equation $(PVI_{\al,\be,\ga,\de})$ for the special values of constants $(\al=\frac{\nu^2}{4},\be=-\frac{\nu^2}{4}, \ga=\frac{\nu^2}{4},\de=\f1{2}-\frac{\nu^2}{4})$ is a reduced hamiltonian system. Its…

The solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e equation I were constructed in terms of elliptic and hyperelliptic $\psi$ functions for algebraic curves of genera one and two. For the case of genus two, there appear higher order difference…

Separate consideration of properties of roots of Third Painlev\'e transcendents (P_III-functions) is necessary due to irregularity the differential equation defining them reveals on the subset of the phase space where its solution would…

We study the analytic properties and the critical behavior of the elliptic representation of solutions of the Painlev\'e 6 equation. We solve the connection problem for elliptic representation in the generic case and in a non-generic case…

We present a constructive procedure to obtain the critical behavior of Painleve' VI transcendents and solve the connection problem. This procedure yields two and one parameter families of solutions, including trigonometric and logarithmic…

The integrability (solvability via an associated single-valued linear problem) of a differential equation is closely related to the singularity structure of its solutions. In particular, there is strong evidence that all integrable…

In this article an other equivalent linear representation of classical Painlev\'e second equation is derived by introducing a gauge transformation to old Lax pair. The new linear system of that equation carries similar structure as other…

We explain the relation between the mixed mKdV/sinh-Gordon model and the Kudryashov's equation. Then, we use the mixed AKNS/Lund-Regge model to find a system of ODEs which is candidate to define a new transcendental function. We also…

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…

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…

Novel sequences of approximants to solutions of Painlev\'e II on finite intervals of the real line, with Neumann boundary conditions, are constructed. Numerical experiments strongly suggest convergence of these sequences in a surprisingly…

We consider the q-Painlev\'e III equation arising from the birational representation of the affine Weyl group of type $(A_2 + A_1)^{(1)}$. We study the reduction of the q-Painlev\'e III equation to the q-Painlev\'e II equation from the…

We extend Yves Andr\'e's theory of solution algebras in differential Galois theory to a general Tannakian context. As applications, we establish analogues of his correspondence between solution fields and observable subgroups of the Galois…
