This short review is an introduction to a great variety of methods, the collection of which is called the Painlev\'e analysis, intended at producing all kinds of exact (as opposed to perturbative) results on nonlinear equations, whether…

We consider the symmetric q-Painlev\'e equations derived from the birational representation of affine Weyl groups by applying the projective reduction and construct the hypergeometric solutions. Moreover, we discuss continuous limits of the…

We derive the Lagrangians of the higher-order Painlev\'e equations using Jacobi's last multiplier technique. Some of these higher-order differential equations display certain remarkable properties like passing the Painlev\'e test and…

Painleve equations belong to the class y'' + a_1 {y'}^3 + 3 a_2 {y'}^2 + 3 a_3 y' + a_4 = 0, where a_i=a_i(x,y). This class of equations is invariant under the general point transformation x=Phi(X,Y), y=Psi(X,Y) and it is therefore very…

We study factorizations of rational matrix functions with simple poles on the Riemann sphere. For the quadratic case (two poles) we show, using multiplicative representations of such matrix functions, that a good coordinate system on this…

We present a systematic approach to the construction of Miura transformations for discrete Painlev\'e equations. Our method is based on the bilinear formalism and we start with the expression of the nonlinear discrete equation in terms of…

In the current paper we study the $q$-analogue introduced by Jimbo and Sakai of the well known Painlev\'e VI differential equation. We explain how it can be deduced from a $q$-analogue of Schlesinger equations and show that for a convenient…

Boelen et al. (2010) deduced a $q$-discrete Painlev\'e equation satisfied by the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials and conjectured that the equation had a unique positive solution. We prove their conjecture and discuss…

We consider solutions of a discrete Painlev\'e equation arising from a construction of quantum minimal surfaces by Arnlind, Hoppe and Kontsevich, and in earlier work of Cornalba and Taylor on static membranes. While the discrete equation…

Although the solutions of Painlev\'e equations are transcendental in the sense that they cannot be expressed in terms of known elementary functions, there do exist rational solutions for specialized values of the equation parameters. A very…

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…

We construct a family of second-order linear difference equations parametrized by the hypergeometric solution of the elliptic Painlev\'e equation (or higher-order analogues), and admitting a large family of monodromy-preserving…

A typical system of k difference (or differential) equations can be compressed, or folded into a difference (or ordinary differential) equation of order k. Such foldings appear in control theory as the canonical forms of the controllability…

We utilise a recent approach via the so-called re-scaling method to derive a unified and comprehensive theory of the solutions to Painleve's differential equations (I), (II) and (IV), with emphasis on the most elaborate equation (IV).

We review non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems, polynomial in two dependent variables, with the property that all of their solutions are meromorphic functions in the complex plane. These are related to known Hamiltonian systems with the…

The equation of motion of affine Toda field theory is a coupled equation for $r$ fields, $r$ is the rank of the underlying Lie algebra. Most of the theories admit reduction, in which the equation is satisfied by fewer than $r$ fields. The…

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 present a class of reductions of M\"obius type for the lattice equations known as Q1, Q2, and Q3 from the ABS list. The deautonomised form of one particular reduction of Q3 is shown to exist on the $A_1^{(1)}$ surface which belongs to…

We consider a $q$-Painlev\'e IV equation which is the $A_4^{(1)}$-surface type in the Sakai's classification. We find three distinct types of classical solutions with determinantal structures whose elements are basic hypergeometric…

In this manuscript we make major progress classifying algebraic relations between solutions of Painlev\'e equations. Our main contribution is to establish the algebraic independence of solutions of various pairs of equations in the…
