Schlessinger Transformations for Painleve VI equation

Cataloged from PDF version of article.A method to obtain the Schlesinger transformations for Painlevi VI equation is given. The procedure involves formulating a Riemann-Hilbert problem for a transformation matrix which transforms the solution of the linear problem but leaves the associated monodromy data the same. 0 1995 American Institute of Physics

On the Linearization of the Painleve' III-VI Equations and Reductions of the Three-Wave Resonant System

We extend similarity reductions of the coupled (2+1)-dimensional three-wave resonant interaction system to its Lax pair. Thus we obtain new 3x3 matrix Fuchs--Garnier pairs for the third and fifth Painleve' equations, together with the previously known Fuchs--Garnier pair for the fourth and sixth Painleve' equations. These Fuchs--Garnier pairs have an important feature: they are linear with respect to the spectral parameter. Therefore we can apply the Laplace transform to study these pairs. In this way we found reductions of all pairs to the standard 2x2 matrix Fuchs--Garnier pairs obtained by M. Jimbo and T. Miwa. As an application of the 3x3 matrix pairs, we found an integral auto-transformation for the standard Fuchs--Garnier pair for the fifth Painleve' equation. It generates an Okamoto-like B\"acklund transformation for the fifth Painleve' equation. Another application is an integral transformation relating two different 2x2 matrix Fuchs--Garnier pairs for the third Painleve' equation.Comment: Typos are corrected, journal and DOI references are adde

Exact vortex solutions of the complex sine-Gordon theory on the plane

We construct explicit multivortex solutions for the first and second complex sine-Gordon equations. The constructed solutions are expressible in terms of the modified Bessel and rational functions, respectively. The vorticity-raising and lowering Backlund transformations are interpreted as the Schlesinger transformations of the fifth Painleve equation.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figur

Transformations of ordinary differential equations via Darboux transformation technique

A new approach for obtaining the transformations of solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations representable as the compatibility condition of the overdetermined linear systems is proposed. The corresponding transformations of the solutions of the overdetermined linear systems are derived in the frameworks of the Darboux transformation technique.Comment: 7 pages, LaTeX2

Rational Solutions of the Painleve' VI Equation

In this paper, we classify all values of the parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ and $\delta$ of the Painlev\'e VI equation such that there are rational solutions. We give a formula for them up to the birational canonical transformations and the symmetries of the Painlev\'e VI equation.Comment: 13 pages, 1 Postscript figure Typos fixe

On a Schwarzian PDE associated with the KdV Hierarchy

We present a novel integrable non-autonomous partial differential equation of the Schwarzian type, i.e. invariant under M\"obius transformations, that is related to the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. In fact, this PDE can be considered as the generating equation for the entire hierarchy of Schwarzian KdV equations. We present its Lax pair, establish its connection with the SKdV hierarchy, its Miura relations to similar generating PDEs for the modified and regular KdV hierarchies and its Lagrangian structure. Finally we demonstrate that its similarity reductions lead to the {\it full} Painlev\'e VI equation, i.e. with four arbitary parameters.Comment: 11 page

Bilinear Discrete Painleve-II and its Particular Solutions

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 bilinear formalism that allows us to obtain the $\tau$ function for d-P$\rm_{II}$. Two different forms of bilinear d-P$\rm_{II}$ are obtained and we show that they can be related by a simple gauge transformation.Comment: 9 pages in plain Te

Multivortex Solutions of the Weierstrass Representation

The connection between the complex Sine and Sinh-Gordon equations on the complex plane associated with a Weierstrass type system and the possibility of construction of several classes of multivortex solutions is discussed in detail. We perform the Painlev\'e test and analyse the possibility of deriving the B\"acklund transformation from the singularity analysis of the complex Sine-Gordon equation. We make use of the analysis using the known relations for the Painlev\'{e} equations to construct explicit formulae in terms of the Umemura polynomials which are $\tau$-functions for rational solutions of the third Painlev\'{e} equation. New classes of multivortex solutions of a Weierstrass system are obtained through the use of this proposed procedure. Some physical applications are mentioned in the area of the vortex Higgs model when the complex Sine-Gordon equation is reduced to coupled Riccati equations.Comment: 27 pages LaTeX2e, 1 encapsulated Postscript figur

Autoresonance in a Dissipative System

We study the autoresonant solution of Duffing's equation in the presence of dissipation. This solution is proved to be an attracting set. We evaluate the maximal amplitude of the autoresonant solution and the time of transition from autoresonant growth of the amplitude to the mode of fast oscillations. Analytical results are illustrated by numerical simulations.Comment: 22 pages, 3 figure
