The degenerate third Painleve' equation, $u"(t)=(u'(t))^2/u(t)-u'(t)/t+1/t(-8c u^2(t)+2ab)+b^2/u(t)$, where $c=+/-1$, $b>0$, and $a$ is a complex parameter, is studied via the Isomonodromy Deformation Method. Asymptotics of general regular and singular solutions $u(t)$ as $t -> +/-\infty$ and $t -> +/-i\infty$ are derived and parametrized in terms of the monodromy data of the associated 2X2 linear auxiliary problem introduced in the first part of this work [1]. Using these results, three-real-parameter families of solutions that have infinite sequences of zeroes and poles that are asymptotically located along the real and imaginary axes are distinguished: asymptotics of these zeroes and poles are also obtained.
For a general solution of the degenerate third Painlevé equation we show the Boutroux ansatz near the point at infinity. It admits an asymptotic representation in terms of the Weierstrass pe-function in cheese-like strips along generic directions. The expression is obtained by using isomonodromy deformation of a linear system governed by the degenerate third Painlevé equation.
In this paper classical solutions of the degenerate fifth Painlevé equation are classified, which include hierarchies of algebraic solutions and solutions expressible in terms of Bessel functions. Solutions of the degenerate fifth Painlevé equation are known to expressible in terms of the third Painlevé equation. Two applications of these classical solutions are discussed, deriving exact solutions of the complex sine-Gordon equation and of the coefficients in the three-term recurrence relation associated with generalised Charlier polynomials.
It is shown how to calculate asymptotics of integrals over the positive semi-axis of two functions related to the Degenerate Third Painlevé Equation (dP3). As an example, the corresponding results for the meromorphic solution of the dP3 vanishing at the origin are presented.
Leading terms of asymptotic expansions for the general complex solutions of the fifth Painlevé equation as $t\to\imath\infty$ are found. These asymptotics are parameterized by monodromy data of the associated linear ODE. $$ \frac{d}{dλ}Y= \left(\frac t2σ_3 + \frac{A_0}λ+\frac{A_1}{λ-1}\right)Y. $$ The parametrization allows one to derive connection formulas for the asymptotics. We provide numerical verification of the results. Important special cases of the connection formulas are also considered.
We prove that there exists the unique odd meromorphic solution of dP3, $u(τ)$ such that $u(0)=0$, and study some of its properties, mainly: the coefficients of its Taylor expansion at the origin and asymptotic behaviour as $τ\to+\infty$.
For more than a century, the Painlevé I equation has played an important role in both physics and mathematics. Its two-parameter family of solutions was studied in many different ways, yet still leads to new surprises and discoveries. Two popular tools in these studies are the theory of isomonodromic deformation that uses the exact WKB method, and the asymptotic description of transcendents in terms of two-parameter transseries. Combining methods from both schools of thought, and following work by Takei and collaborators, we find complete, two-parameter connection formulae for solutions when t…
Resurgent-transseries solutions to Painleve equations may be recursively constructed out of these nonlinear differential-equations -- but require Stokes data to be globally defined over the complex plane. Stokes data explicitly construct connection-formulae which describe the nonlinear Stokes phenomena associated to these solutions, via implementation of Stokes transitions acting on the transseries. Nonlinear resurgent Stokes data lack, however, a first-principle computational approach, hence are hard to determine generically. In the Painleve I and Painleve II contexts, nonlinear Stokes data g…
We show that there is a full correspondence between the parameters space of the degenerate biconfluent Heun connection (BHC) and that of Painlevé IV that admits special solutions. The BHC degenerates when either the Stokes' data for the irregular singularity at $\infty$ degenerates or the regular singular point at the origin becomes an apparent singularity. We show that if the BHC is written as isomonodromy family of biconfluent Heun equations (BHE), then the BHE degenerates precisely when it admits eigen-solutions of the biconfluent Heun operators, after choosing appropriate accessory paramet…
The Painlevé equations arise from the study of Hankel determinants generated by moment matrices, whose weights are expressed as the product of ``classical" weights multiplied by suitable ``deformation factors", usually dependent on a ``time variable'' $t$. From ladder operators one finds second order linear ordinary differential equations for associated orthogonal polynomials with coefficients being rational functions. The Painlevé and related functions appear as the residues of these rational functions. We will be interested in the situation when $n$, the order of the Hankel matrix and also t…
