We study the rational solutions of the discrete version of Painleve's fourth equation d-PIV. The solutions are generated by applying Schlesinger transformations on the seed solutions -2z and -1/z. After studying the structure of these…

The third Painlev\'e equation in its generic form, often referred to as Painlev\'e-III($D_6$), is given by $$ \frac{{\rm d}^2u}{{\rm d}x^2} =\frac{1}{u}\left(\frac{{\rm d}u}{{\rm d}x}\right)^2-\frac{1}{x}\frac{{\rm d}u}{{\rm…

It is well known that the Painlev\'e equations can formally degenerate to autonomous differential equations with elliptic function solutions in suitable scaling limits. A way to make this degeneration rigorous is to apply Deift-Zhou…

The Painlev\'e equations possess transcendental solutions $y(t)$ with special initial values that are symmetric under rotation or reflection in the complex $t$-plane. They correspond to monodromy problems that are explicitly solvable in…

We present the bilinear forms of the (continuous) Painlev\'e equations obtained from the continuous limit of the analogous expresssions for the discrete ones. The advantage of this method is that it leads to very symmetrical results. A new…

We show that the discrete Painlev\'e II equation with starting value $a_{-1}=-1$ has a unique solution for which $-1 < a_n < 1$ for every $n \geq 0$. This solution corresponds to the Verblunsky coefficients of a family of orthogonal…

We present the discrete, q-, form of the Painlev\'e VI equation written as a three-point mapping and analyse the structure of its singularities. This discrete equation goes over to P_{VI} at the continuous limit and degenerates towards the…

We present particular solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e III (d-P$\rm_{III}$) equation of rational and special function (Bessel) type. These solutions allow us to establish a close parallel between this discrete equation and its…

We consider orthogonal polynomials p_n with respect to an exponential weight function w(x) = exp(-P(x)). The related equations for the recurrence coefficients have been explored by many people, starting essentially with Laguerre [49], in…

Recurrence coefficients of semi-classical orthogonal polynomials (orthogonal polynomials related to a weight function $w$ such that $w'/w$ is a rational function) are shown to be solutions of non linear differential equations with respect…

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…

Starting from the standard form of the five discrete Painlev\'e equations we show how one can obtain (through appropriate limits) a host of new equations which are also the discrete analogues of the continuous Painlev\'e equations. A…

By analogy to the continuous Painlev\'e II equation, we present particular solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e II (d-P$\rm_{II}$) equation. These solutions are of rational and special function (Airy) type. Our analysis is based on the…

We consider a class of particular solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) $u_t +\partial_{x_2}^n u_{x_1} - u_{x_1} u =0$ (here $n$ is any integer) reducing it to the ordinary differential equation…

Hirota's discrete KdV equation is an integrable partial difference equation on $\mathbb{Z}^2$, which approaches the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in a continuum limit. In this paper, we show that its multiplicative-discrete versions have…
