Singular perturbation theory plays a central role in the approximate solution of nonlinear differential equations. However, applying these methods is a subtle art owing to the lack of globally applicable algorithms. Inspired by the fact…
We lecture on fundamental Painleve's early Theorems on first order ordinary differential equations with many examples. We end-up with two conjectures about the global analytic continuation of holonomy maps locally defined by Theorem II.
A new system of coupled higher-order nonlinear Schroedinger equations is proposed which passes the Painleve test for integrability well. A Lax pair and a multi-field generalization are obtained for the new system.
We examine whether the Painleve property is necessary for the integrability of partial differential equations (PDEs). We show that in analogy to what happens in the case of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) there exists a class of…
