We consider two multi-dimensional generalisations of the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (dKP) equation, both allowing for arbitrary dimensionality, and non-linearity. For one of these generalisations, we characterise all solutions…
We present a brief overview of integrability of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations with a focus on the Painleve property: an ODE of second order has the Painleve property if the only movable singularities connected to…
We investigate the Painlev\'{e} asymptotics for the Cauchy problem of the modified Camassa-Holm (mCH) equation with decaying initial data \begin{align*}\nonumber &m_t+\left((u^2-u_x^2)m\right)_x+\kappa u_{x}=0, \…
A previously-established model of steady one-dimensional two-ion electrodiffusion across a liquid junction is reconsidered. It involves three coupled first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and has the second-order Painlev\'e…
We consider the second Painlev\'e equation $$ u"(x)=2u^3(x)+xu(x)-\alpha, $$ where $\alpha $ is a nonzero constant. Using the Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems, we rigorously prove the asymptotics as…
We investigate the long-time asymptotic behavior of a class of solutions to the defocusing Manakov system under nonzero boundary conditions. These solutions are characterized by a $3 \times 3$ matrix Riemann Hilbert problem. We find that…
We review recent results on superintegrable quantum systems in a two-dimensional Euclidean space with the following properties. They are integrable because they allow the separation of variables in Cartesian coordinates and hence allow a…
Discrete Painlev\'e equations are integrable two-dimensional birational maps associated to a family of generalized Halphen surfaces. The latter can be seen either as $\mathbb P^2$ blown up at nine points or as $\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^1$…
The Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation \begin{align} &u_t-u_{txx}+3\kappa u_x+4uu_x=3u_x u_{xx}+uu_{xxx}, \nonumber \end{align} serving as an asymptotic approximation for the unidirectional propagation of shallow water waves, is an integrable…
The second Painlev\'e hierarchy is defined as the hierarchy of ordinary differential equations obtained by similarity reduction from the modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. Its first member is the well-known second Painlev\'e equation,…
Folding transformation of the Painlev\'e equations is an algebraic (of degree greater than 1) transformation between solutions of different equations. In 2005 Tsuda, Okamoto and Sakai classified folding transformations of differential…
The paper is about a Painlev\'e III equation and its relation to isomonodromic families of vector bundles on P^1 with meromorphic connections. The purpose of the paper is two-fold: it offers a conceptual language for the geometrical objects…
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…
We consider the equation $\e^{2}\Delta u=(u-a(x))(u^2-1)$ in $\Omega$, $\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} =0$ on $\partial \Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a smooth and bounded domain in $\R^n$, $\nu$ the outer unit normal to $\pa\Omega$, and $a$ a…
We propose and solve a minimal model of dynamic passage through a second-order phase transition in the presence of symmetry breaking interactions and no dissipation. Our model generalizes the Hamiltonian dynamics of the Painleve'-2 equation…
We present two constructions of new solutions to the dispersionless KP (dKP) equation arising from the first two Painlev\'e transcendents. The first construction is a hodograph transformation based on Einstein--Weyl geometry, the…

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 study a higher-order Painlev\'{e}-type equation, arising as a string equation of the $3^{rd}$ order reduction of the KP hierarchy. This equation appears at the multi-critical point of the $2$-matrix model with quartic interactions, and…
