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
On a q-difference Painlev\'e III equation: II. Rational solutions
Rational solutions for a -difference analogue of the Painlev\'e III

Rational Solutions of the Painleve' VI Equation
In this paper, we classify all values of the parameters , ,
and 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
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
{\bf -Function Evaluation of Gap Probabilities in Orthogonal and Symplectic Matrix Ensembles}
It has recently been emphasized that all known exact evaluations of gap
probabilities for classical unitary matrix ensembles are in fact
-functions for certain Painlev\'e systems. We show that all exact
evaluations of gap probabilities for classical orthogonal matrix ensembles,
either known or derivable from the existing literature, are likewise
-functions for certain Painlev\'e systems. In the case of symplectic
matrix ensembles all exact evaluations, either known or derivable from the
existing literature, are identified as the mean of two -functions, both
of which correspond to Hamiltonians satisfying the same differential equation,
differing only in the boundary condition. Furthermore the product of these two
-functions gives the gap probability in the corresponding unitary
symmetry case, while one of those -functions is the gap probability in
the corresponding orthogonal symmetry case.Comment: AMS-Late
Painleve IV and degenerate Gaussian Unitary Ensembles
We consider those Gaussian Unitary Ensembles where the eigenvalues have
prescribed multiplicities, and obtain joint probability density for the
eigenvalues. In the simplest case where there is only one multiple eigenvalue
t, this leads to orthogonal polynomials with the Hermite weight perturbed by a
factor that has a multiple zero at t. We show through a pair of ladder
operators, that the diagonal recurrence coefficients satisfy a particular
Painleve IV equation for any real multiplicity. If the multiplicity is even
they are expressed in terms of the generalized Hermite polynomials, with t as
the independent variable.Comment: 17 page
Determinant Structure of the Rational Solutions for the Painlev\'e IV Equation
Rational solutions for the Painlev\'e IV equation are investigated by Hirota
bilinear formalism. It is shown that the solutions in one hierarchy are
expressed by 3-reduced Schur functions, and those in another two hierarchies by
Casorati determinant of the Hermite polynomials, or by special case of the
Schur polynomials.Comment: 19 pages, Latex, using theorem.st
The Hamiltonian Structure of the Second Painleve Hierarchy
In this paper we study the Hamiltonian structure of the second Painleve
hierarchy, an infinite sequence of nonlinear ordinary differential equations
containing PII as its simplest equation. The n-th element of the hierarchy is a
non linear ODE of order 2n in the independent variable depending on n
parameters denoted by and . We introduce new
canonical coordinates and obtain Hamiltonians for the and
evolutions. We give explicit formulae for these Hamiltonians showing that they
are polynomials in our canonical coordinates
Hard loss of stability in Painlev\'e-2 equation
A special asymptotic solution of the Painlev\'e-2 equation with small
parameter is studied. This solution has a critical point corresponding to
a bifurcation phenomenon. When the constructed solution varies slowly
and when the solution oscillates very fast. We investigate the
transitional layer in detail and obtain a smooth asymptotic solution, using a
sequence of scaling and matching procedures
An Isomonodromy Cluster of Two Regular Singularities
We consider a linear matrix ODE with two coalescing regular
singularities. This coalescence is restricted with an isomonodromy condition
with respect to the distance between the merging singularities in a way
consistent with the ODE. In particular, a zero-distance limit for the ODE
exists. The monodromy group of the limiting ODE is calculated in terms of the
original one. This coalescing process generates a limit for the corresponding
nonlinear systems of isomonodromy deformations. In our main example the latter
limit reads as , where is the -th Painlev\'e equation. We
also discuss some general problems which arise while studying the
above-mentioned limits for the Painlev\'e equations.Comment: 44 pages, 8 figure
