The ``Painlev\'e analysis'' is quite often perceived as a collection of tricks reserved to experts. The aim of this course is to demonstrate the contrary and to unveil the simplicity and the beauty of a subject which is in fact the theory…
The ``truncation procedure'' initiated by Weiss et al. is best understood as a Darboux transformation. If it leads to the Lax pair of the PDE under study, the B\"acklund transformation follows by an elimination, thus proving the…
The last decades saw growing interest across multiple disciplines in nonlinear phenomena described by partial differential equations (PDE). Integrability of such equations is tightly related with the Painleve property - solutions being free…
We present a brief overview of integrability of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations with a focus on the Painleve property: an ODE of second order has the Painleve property if the only movable singularities connected to…

The Painleve test is very useful to construct not only the Laurent-series solutions but also the elliptic and trigonometric ones. Such single-valued functions are solutions of some polynomial first order differential equations. To find the…
A model for planar phenomena introduced by Jackiw and Pi and described by a Lagrangian including a Chern-Simons term is considered. The associated equations of motion, among which a 2+1 gauged nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, are rewritten…
This short review is an introduction to a great variety of methods, the collection of which is called the Painlev\'e analysis, intended at producing all kinds of exact (as opposed to perturbative) results on nonlinear equations, whether…
The integrability (solvability via an associated single-valued linear problem) of a differential equation is closely related to the singularity structure of its solutions. In particular, there is strong evidence that all integrable…
Whether integrable, partially integrable or nonintegrable, nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) can be handled from scratch with essentially the same toolbox, when one looks for analytic solutions in closed form. The basic tool…
This short survey presents the essential features of what is called Painlev\'e analysis, i.e. the set of methods based on the singularities of differential equations in order to perform their explicit integration. Full details can be found…
Discrete Painlev\'e equations are nonlinear, nonautonomous difference equations of second-order. They have coefficients that are explicit functions of the independent variable $n$ and there are three different types of equations according…
Consider the solution $y(t)$ for the ordinary differential equation $y' = f(t, y)$ with $t$ complex. Second-order nonlinear differential equations often exhibit patterns in their poles, branch points, and essential singularities, explored…
In this paper, the Painlev\'e property to fractional differential equations (FDEs) are extended and the existence and uniqueness theorems for both linear and nonlinear FDEs are established. The results contribute to the research of…
We apply the Painleve test for integrability to a new discrete (differential-difference) nonlinear Schrodinger equation introduced by Leon and Manna. Since the singular expansions of solutions of this equation turn out to contain…
The Painleve and weak Painleve conjectures have been used widely to identify new integrable nonlinear dynamical systems. The calculation of the integrals relies though on methods quite independent from Painlev\'e analysis. This paper…
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…

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…
