We develop a dynamical study of the sixth Painleve equation for all parameters generalizing an earlier work for generic parameters. Here the main focus of this paper is on non-generic parameters, for which the corresponding character…
For transcendental functions that solve non-linear $q$-difference equations, the best descriptions available are the ones obtained by expansion near critical points at the origin and infinity. We describe such solutions of a $q$-discrete…
In this paper, we consider a six parameter family of affine Segre surfaces embedded in $\mathbb C^6$. For generic values of the parameters, this family is associated to the $q$-difference sixth Painlev\'e equation. We show that different…
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 study the sixth $q$-difference Painlev\'e equation ($q{\textrm{P}_{\textrm{VI}}}$) through its associated Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) and show that the RHP is always solvable for irreducible monodromy data. This enables us to identify…
The Painleve-IV equation has three families of rational solutions generated by the generalized Hermite polynomials. Each family is indexed by two positive integers m and n. These functions have applications to nonlinear wave equations,…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the Ablowitz-Segur solutions for the second Painlev\'e equation using the Riemann-Hilbert approach and methods based on asymptotic expansions of classical special functions. Recent results show that the…
We apply the circle method to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of integral points on a certain sliced cubic hypersurface related to the Segre cubic. Unusually, the major and minor arc integrals in this application are both…
For a generic Painlev\'e 5 equation we characterise all the asymptotics in a right half plane near the point at infinity, that is, we find classified explicit solutions that are, by the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, labelled with…
In this paper, we revisit large variable asymptotic expansions of tronqu\'ee solutions of the Painlev\'e I equation, obtained via the Riemann-Hilbert approach and the method of steepest descent. The explicit construction of an extra local…
In this work we propose a new method for investigating connection problems for the class of nonlinear second-order differential equations known as the Painlev{\'e} equations. Such problems can be characterized by the question as to how the…
The effective and efficient numerical solution of Riemann-Hilbert problems has been demonstrated in recent work. With the aid of ideas from the method of nonlinear steepest descent for Riemann-Hilbert problems, the resulting numerical…
These lectures introduce the method of nonlinear steepest descent for Riemann-Hilbert problems. This method finds use in studying asymptotics associated to a variety of special functions such as the Painlev\'{e} equations and orthogonal…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of a generalized sine kernel acting on a finite size interval [-q,q]. We determine its asymptotic resolvent as well as the first terms in the asymptotic expansion of its Fredholm determinant. Further,…
We present an asymptotic formula for the number of line segments connecting q+1 points of an nxn square grid, and a sharper formula, assuming the Riemann hypothesis. We also present asymptotic formulas for the number of lines through at…
Motivated by the simplest case of tt*-Toda equations, we study the large and small $x$ asymptotics for $x>0$ of real solutions of the sinh-Godron Painlev\'e III($D_6$) equation. These solutions are parametrized through the monodromy data of…
We consider certain correspondences on a Riemann surface, and show that they admit a weak form of hyperbolicity: sufficiently long loops get shorter under lifting at a fixed point and closing. In terms of their algebraic encoding by bisets,…
Explicit solutions to the Riemann-Hilbert problem will be found realising some irreducible non-rigid local systems. The relation to isomonodromy and the sixth Painleve equation will be described. Keywords: Riemann-Hilbert problem, Painleve…
Hypergeometric solutions to the q-Painlev\'e equations are constructed by direct linearization of disrcrete Riccati equations. The decoupling factors are explicitly determined so that the linear systems give rise to q-hypergeometric…
This paper is a continuation of our analysis, begun in arXiv:1310.2276, of the rational solutions of the inhomogeneous Painleve-II equation and associated rational solutions of the homogeneous coupled Painleve-II system in the limit of…
