A famous result of Stieltjes relates the zeroes of the classical orthogonal polynomials with the configurations of points on the line that minimize a suitable energy. The energy has logarithmic interactions and an external field whose…
Our work studies sequences of orthogonal polynomials $ \{P_{n}(x)\}_{n=0}^{\infty} $ of the Laguerre-Hahn class, whose Stieltjes functions satisfy a Riccati type differential equation with polynomial coefficients, are subject to a…
We give a new approach to the symmetries of the Painlev\'e equations $P_{V},P_{IV},P_{III}$ and $P_{II}$, respectively. Moreover, we make natural extensions to fourth-order analogues for each of the Painlev\'e equations $P_{V}$ and…
We provide new insights into the solvability property of an Hamiltonian involving of the fourth Painlev\'e transcendent and its derivatives. This Hamiltonian is third order shape invariant and can also be interpreted within the context of…
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 present a construction of a class of rational solutions of the Painlev\'e V equation that exhibit a two-fold degeneracy, meaning that there exist two distinct solutions that share identical parameters. The fundamental object of our study…
We describe projective structures on a Riemann surface corresponding to monodromy groups which have trivial $SL(2)$ monodromies around singularities and trivial $PSL(2)$ monodromies along homologically non-trivial loops on a Riemann…
We discuss a family of Hamiltonians given by particular rational extensions of the singular oscillator in two-dimensions. The wave functions of these Hamiltonians can be expressed in terms of products of Laguerre and exceptional Jacobi…
We construct a generalisation of what we call Bureau-Guillot systems, i.e. systems of first order equations with coefficient functions being Painlev\'e transcendents. The same Painlev\'e equation is related to the system and it appears as…
We extend Painlev\'e's determinateness theorem to the case of first order ordinary differential equations in the complex domain with known terms allowed be multivalued in the dependent variable as well; multivaluedness is supposed to be…
The critical behavior of a three real parameter class of solutions of the sixth Painlev\'e equation is computed, and parametrized in terms of monodromy data of the associated $2\times 2$ matrix linear Fuchsian system of ODE. The class may…
We apply a relation between matrix-valued complete Bernstein functions and matrix-valued Stieltjes functions to prove that certain convolution equations for matrix-valued functions have unique solutions in a special class of functions. In…
We study the Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies of type A_n^{(1)} associated with the regular conjugacy classes of W(A_n). A class of fourth order Painleve systems is derived from them by similarity reductions.
The connection between derivatives of $L(s,f)$ for periodic arithmetical functions $f$ at $s=1$ and generalized Stieltjes constants has been noted earlier. In this paper, we utilize this link to throw light on the arithmetic nature of…
A series of systems of nonlinear equations with affine Weyl group symmetry of type $A^{(1)}_l$ is studied. This series gives a generalization of Painlev\'e equations $P_{IV}$ and $P_{V}$ to higher orders.
This work revolves around the study of differentiability in the Stieltjes sense of a product of functions. A formula for the first order derivative has been obtained in the past, which is similar to the usual one with some extra terms in…
We discuss relations which exist between analytic functions belonging to the recently introduced class of special functions of the isomonodromy type (SFITs). These relations can be obtained by application of some simple transformations to…

This work deals with the obtaining of solutions of first and second order Stieltjes differential equations. We define the notions of Stieltjes derivative on the whole domain of the functions involved, provide a notion of n-times…
We find a class of solutions of the sixth Painleve' equation appearing in the theory of WDVV equations. This class covers almost all the monodromy data associated to the equation, except one point in the space of the data. We find the…
