We study the tritronqu\'{e}e solution $u(x,t)$ of the $\mathrm{P}_{\rm I}^{2}$ equation, the second member of the Painlev\'{e} I hierarchy. This solution is pole-free on the real line and has various applications in mathematical physics. We…

We consider a perturbed version of the second Painlev\'{e} equation ($\textrm{P}_{\textrm{II}}$), which arises in applications, and show that it possesses solutions analogous to the celebrated Hastings-McLeod and tritronqu\'ee solutions of…
The generalized Hastings-McLeod solutions to the inhomogeneous Painlev\'{e}-II equation arise in multi-critical unitary random matrix ensembles, the chiral two-matrix model for rectangular matrices, non-intersecting squared Bessel paths,…

For equation P$_I^2$, the second member in the P$_I$ hierarchy, we prove existence of various degenerate solutions depending on the complex parameter $t$ and evaluate the asymptotics in the complex $x$ plane for $|x|\to\infty$ and…
We show that the well-known Hastings-McLeod solution to the second Painlev\'{e} equation is pole-free in the region $\arg x \in [-\frac{\pi}{3},\frac{\pi}{3}]\cup [\frac{2\pi}{3},\frac{ 4 \pi}{3}]$, which proves an important special case of…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of a family of pole-free solutions to the noncommutative Painlev\'e II equation. These particular solutions can be expressed in terms of the Fredholm determinant of the matrix version of the…
We show that the Kontsevich integral on $n\times n$ matrices ($n< \infty$) is the isomonodromic tau function associated to a $2\times 2$ Riemann--Hilbert problem. The approach allows us to gain control of the analysis of the convergence as…
In this study, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of the first discrete Painlev\{e} equation in the limit as the independent variable becomes large. Using an asymptotic series expansion, we identify two types of solutions which are…
We show that the physical Hastings-McLeod solution of the integrable Painleve II equation generalizes in a natural way to a class of non-integrable equations, in a way that preserves many of the significant qualitative properties. We derive…
Recently in a paper by Lin, Dai and Tibboel, it was shown that the third and fourth Painlev\'e equations have tronqu\'ee and tritronqu\'ee solutions. We obtain global information about these tronqu\'ee and tritronqu\'ee solutions. We find…
