Schlesinger transformations are algebraic transformations of a Fuchsian system that preserve its monodromy representation and act on the characteristic indices of the system by integral shifts. One of the important reasons to study such…
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 show that the recently derived ($q$-) discrete form of the Painlev\'e VI equation can be related to the discrete P$_{\rm III}$, in particular if one uses the full freedom in the implementation of the singularity confinement criterion.…
In this paper, we study special solutions of five autonomous integrable partial difference equations (P$\Delta$Es). More precisely, we show that these P$\Delta$Es admit special solutions that are described by non-autonomous ordinary…
We present a geometric description, based on the affine Weyl group E_{6}^{(1)}, of two discrete analogues of the Painlev\'e VI equation, known as the asymmetric q-P_{V} and asymmetric d-P_{IV}. This approach allows us to describe in a…
Compositions of rational transformations of independent variables of linear matrix ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the Schlesinger transformations ($RS$-transformations) are used to construct algebraic solutions of the sixth…
The explicit integrability of second order ordinary differential equations invariant under time-translation and rescaling is investigated. Quadratic systems generated from the linearisable version of this class of equations are analysed to…
The paper concerns asymptotic studies for the sixth Painlev\'e transcendent as independent variable tends to infinity. The primary tool is averaging and the Whitham method. Elliptic ansatz, appropriate modulation equation and asymptotics…
A new integrable sixth-order nonlinear wave equation is discovered by means of the Painleve analysis, which is equivalent to the Korteweg - de Vries equation with a source. A Lax representation and a Backlund self-transformation are found…
This paper is an addendum to earlier papers \cite{R1,R2} in which it was shown that the unstable separatrix solutions for Painlev\'e I and II are determined by $PT$-symmetric Hamiltonians. In this paper unstable separatrix solutions of 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 give new Backlund transformations (BTs) for some known integrable (in the sense of being multidimensionally consistent) quadrilateral lattice equations. As opposed to the natural auto-BT inherent in every such equation, these BTs are of…
A local behavior of solutions of the Schlesinger equation is studied. We obtain expansions for this solutions, which converge in some neighborhood of a singular point. As a corollary the similar result for the sixth Painlev\'e equation was…
We will study two types of special solutions of the sixth Painleve equation, which are invariant under the symmetries obtained from the Backlund transformations. In most cases, the fixed points of the Backlund transformations are classical…
We present a consistent truncation, allowing us to obtain the first degree birational transformation found by Okamoto for the sixth Painlev\'e equation. The discrete equation arising from its contiguity relation is then just the sum of six…
We use exponential asymptotic analysis to identify the relevance of Stokes' phenomenon to integrability in discrete systems. We study Stokes' phenomenon in two discrete problems with the same (leading-order) continuous limit, a…
For the Painlev\'e 6 transcendents, we provide a unitary description of the critical behaviours, the connection formulae, their complete tabulation, and the asymptotic distribution of the poles close to a critical point.
For the master Painlev\'e equation P6(u), we define a consistent method, adapted from the Weiss truncation for partial differential equations, which allows us to obtain the first degree birational transformation of Okamoto. Two new features…
We wish to explore a link between the Lax integrability of the $q$-Painlev\'e equations and the symmetries of the $q$-Painlev\'e equations. We shall demonstrate that the connection preserving deformations that give rise to the…
We examine quantum extensions of the continuous Painlev\'e equations, expressed as systems of first-order differential equations for non-commuting objects. We focus on the Painlev\'e equations II, IV and V. From their auto-B\"acklund…
