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

Backlund transformations for discrete Painleve equations: Discrete P-II-P-V

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Transformation properties of discrete Painleve´ equations are investigated by using an algorithmic method. This method yields explicit transformations which relates the solutions of discrete Painleve´ equations, discrete PII–PV, with different values of parameters. The particular solutions which are expressible in terms of the discrete analogue of the classical special functions of discrete Painleve´ equations can also be obtained from these transformations. 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

A nonlocal connection between certain linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations/oscillators

We explore a nonlocal connection between certain linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), representing physically important oscillator systems, and identify a class of integrable nonlinear ODEs of any order. We also devise a method to derive explicit general solutions of the nonlinear ODEs. Interestingly, many well known integrable models can be accommodated into our scheme and our procedure thereby provides further understanding of these models.Comment: 12 pages. J. Phys. A: Math.

Square lattice Ising model susceptibility: Series expansion method and differential equation for χ(3)\chi^{(3)}

In a previous paper (J. Phys. A {\bf 37} (2004) 9651-9668) we have given the Fuchsian linear differential equation satisfied by $\chi^{(3)}$, the ``three-particle'' contribution to the susceptibility of the isotropic square lattice Ising model. This paper gives the details of the calculations (with some useful tricks and tools) allowing one to obtain long series in polynomial time. The method is based on series expansion in the variables that appear in the $(n-1)$-dimensional integrals representing the $n$-particle contribution to the isotropic square lattice Ising model susceptibility $\chi$. The integration rules are straightforward due to remarkable formulas we derived for these variables. We obtain without any numerical approximation $\chi^{(3)}$ as a fully integrated series in the variable $w=s/2/(1+s^{2})$, where $s =sh (2K)$, with $K=J/kT$ the conventional Ising model coupling constant. We also give some perspectives and comments on these results.Comment: 28 pages, no figur

A Lagrangian Description of the Higher-Order Painlev\'e Equations

We derive the Lagrangians of the higher-order Painlev\'e equations using Jacobi's last multiplier technique. Some of these higher-order differential equations display certain remarkable properties like passing the Painlev\'e test and satisfy the conditions stated by Jur\'a$\check{s}$, (Acta Appl. Math. 66 (2001) 25--39), thus allowing for a Lagrangian description.Comment: 16 pages, to be published in Applied Mathematics and Computatio

On the solvability of the Painleve VI equation

A rigorous method was introduced by Fokas and Zhou (1992) for studying the Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with the Painleve II and IV equations. The same methodology has been applied to the Painleve I, III and V equations. In this paper, we will apply the same methodology to the Painleve VI equation. We will show that the Cauchy problem for the Painleve VI equation admits, in general, a global meromorphic solution in t. Furthermore, the special solution which can be written in terms of a hypergeometric function is obtained via solving the special case of the Riemann-Hilbert problem
