The dressing chain equations for factorizing operators of a spectral problem are derived. The chain equations itselves yield nonlinear systems which closure generates solutions of the equations as well as of the nonlinear system if both…
General concept of a gradation slicing is used to analyze polynomial solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODE) with polynomial coefficients, ${\cal L}\psi=0$, where ${\cal L}=\sum_l p_l(z) d_z^l$, $p_l(z)$ are polynomials, $z$ is a…
We prove a few uniform versions of the Mordell-Lang Conjecture and of the Shafarevich Conjecture for curves over function fields and their rational points. The main focus is on function fields having high transcendence degree over the…
Using the Painlev\'e--Kovalevskaya test, we find several new matrix generalizations of the Painlev\'e-4 equation. Some limiting transitions reduce them to known matrix Painlev\'e-2 equations.
Special polynomials associated with rational solutions of the second Painlev\'{e} equation and other members of its hierarchy are discussed. New approach, which allows one to construct each polynomial is presented. The structure of the…
We analyze in detail three classes of isomondromy deformation problems associated with integrable systems. The first two are related to the scaling invariance of the $n\times n$ AKNS hierarchies and the Gel'fand-Dikii hierarchies. The third…
We look at some extensions of the Stieltjes-Wigert weight functions. First we replace the variable x by x^2 in a family of weight functions given by Askey in 1989 and we show that the recurrence coefficients of the corresponding orthogonal…
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…
The paper is an essentially extended version of the work math.CA/0601371, supplemented with an application. We present new results in the theory of classical $\theta$-functions of Jacobi and $\sigma$-functions of Weierstrass: ordinary…
We show that symmetric polynomials previously introduced by the author satisfy a certain differential equation. After a change of variables, it can be written as a non-stationary Schr\"odinger equation with elliptic potential, which is…
The sixth Painlev\'e equation is a basic equation among the non-linear differential equations with three fixed singularities, corresponding to Gauss's hypergeometric differential equation among the linear differential equations. It is known…
We tackle the regularisation of a differential system related to generalised Krawtchouk polynomials. We show a straightforward connection between certain auxiliary quantities involving the recurrence coefficients of these polynomials and…
We study the notion of regular singularities for parameterized complex ordinary linear differential systems, prove an analogue of the Schlesinger theorem for systems with regular singularities and solve both a parameterized version of the…
We present the exact solution for a set of nonlinear algebraic equations $\frac{1}{z_l}= \pi d + \frac{2 d}{n} \sum_{m \neq l} \frac{1}{z_l-z_m}$. These were encountered by us in a recent study of the low energy spectrum of the Heisenberg…
Algebraic and analytic aspects of self-adjoint operators of order four or more with polynomial coefficients are investigated. As a consequence, a systematic way of constructing such operators is given. The procedure is applied to obtain…
We discuss a fast approximate solution to the associated classical -- classical orthogonal polynomial connection problem. We first show that associated classical orthogonal polynomials are solutions to a fourth-order quadratic eigenvalue…
By means of a recent Birkhoff-Kellogg type theorem, we discuss the solvability of a fairly general class of parameter-dependent fourth order retarded differential equations subject to functional boundary conditions. We seek solutions within…

The paper surveys the basic properties of generalized Stieltjes functions including some new ones. We introduce the notion of the exact Stieltjes order and give a criterion of exactness, simple sufficient conditions and some prototypical…
