Painlevé analysis and integrability of the damped anharmonic oscillator equation

The Painlevé analysis is applied to the anharmonic oscillator equation . The following three integrable cases are identified: (i)C=0,d ²=25A/6,A>0,B arbitrary, (ii)d ²=9A/2,B=0,A>0,C arbitrary and (iii)d ²=−9A/4,C=2B ²/(9A),A<0,C<0,B arbitrary. The first two integrable choices are already reported in the literature. For the third integrable case the general solution is found involving elliptic function with exponential amplitude and argument.     

Painlevé analysis and integrability of two-coupled non-linear oscillators

Integrability of a linearly damped two-coupled non-linear oscillators equation is investigated by employing the Painlevé analysis. The following two integrable cases are identified: (i)d = 0, α =β, δ_1 and δ_2 are arbitrary, (ii) d^2= 25α/6, α =β, δ_1 and δ_2 are arbitrary. Exact analytical solution is constructed for the integrable choices.     

Painlevé property and integrability

For an n degree of freedom hyperelliptic separable hamiltonian, the pole series with n+1 free constants, through the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, bounds the degrees of the n-polynomials in involution. When all the pole series have no fewer than 2n constants, the phase space is conjectured to be just the direct product of 2n complex lines cut out by (2n−1) integrals.     

Painlevé integrability and multi-dromion solutions of the 2+1 dimensional AKNS system

The Painlevé integrability of the 2+1 dimensional AKNS system is proved. Using the standard truncated Painlevé expansion which corresponds to a special B?cklund transformation, some special types of the localized excitations like the solitoff solutions, multi-dromion solutions and multi-ring soliton solutions are obtained.

Painlevé integrability of the supersymmetric Ito equation

A supersymmetric version of the Ito equation is proposed by extending the independent and dependent variables for the classic Ito equation.To investigate the integrability of the N = 1 supersymmetric Ito(sIto) equation, a singularity structure analysis for this system is carried out.Through a detailed analysis in two cases by using Kruskal's simplified method, the sIto system is found to pass the Painlevé test, and thus is Painlevé integrable.     

The scaling reduction of the three-wave resonant system and the Painlevé VI equation

The scaling invariant solutions of the three-wave resonant system in one spatial and one temporal dimension satisfy a system of three first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These equations can be reduced to one second-order equation quadratic in the second derivative. This equation is outside the class of equations classified by Painlevé and his school. However, it is a special case of an equation recently found to be related via a one-to-one transformation to the Painlevé VI equation.     

Painlevé test of the McKean and Carleman models

The Painlevé test of the system of nonlinear partial differential first-order equations u₁+u_k=k₁v²+k₂u²+k₃uv, v₁–v_x=–k₁v²–k₂u²–k₃uv is performed. The system includes the Carleman and McKean models which are caricatures of the Boltzmann equation. For k ₁=k ₂=0 the system describes the interaction of two waves u and v. The results of the Painlevé test are discussed in connection with whether or not the system is integrable. We also study in detail the constraint on (whose vanishing defines a noncharacteristic hypersurface S) which arises at the resonance.     

Darboux integrability of the Lü system

We characterize all the values of the parameters of the Lü system, for which it admits a Darboux first integral.     

Painlevé analysis and hamiltonian structure of a new space-dependent KdV equation

We deduce the Lax pair for a new space-dependent KdV equation, , via the technique of Painlevé analysis. From it, infinitely many conservation laws are deduced and the symplectic structure is obtained.     

Painlevé analysis,conservation laws,and symmetry of perturbed nonlinear equations

We consider the Lie-Backlund symmetries and conservation laws of a perturbed KdV equation and NLS equation. The arbitrary coefficients of the perturbing terms can be related to the condition of existence of nontrivial LB symmetry generator. When the perturbed KdV equation is subjected to Painlevé analysisa la Weiss, it is found that the resonance position changes compared to the unperturbed one. We prove the compatibility of the overdetermined set of equations obtained at the different stages of recursion relations, at least for one branch. All other branches are also indicated and difficulties associated them are discussed considering the perturbation parameter to be small. We determine the Lax pair for the aforesaid branch through the use of Schwarzian derivative. For the perturbed NLS equation we determine the conservation laws following the approach of Chen and Liu. From the recurrence of these conservation laws a Lax pair is constructed. But the Painlevé analysis does not produce a positive answer for the perturbed NLS equation. So here we have two contrasting examples of perturbed nonlinear equations: one passes the Painlevé test and its Lax pair can be found from the analysis itself, but the other equation does not meet the criterion of the Painlevé test, though its Lax pair is found in another way.     

Emptiness Formation Probability of the Six-Vertex Model and the Sixth Painlevé Equation

We show that the emptiness formation probability of the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions at its free-fermion point is a \({\tau}\)-function of the sixth Painlevé equation. Using this fact we derive asymptotics of the emptiness formation probability in the thermodynamic limit.     

Painlevé integrability of a generalized fifth-order KdV equation with variable coefficients: Exact solutions and their interactions

By means of singularity structure analysis, the integrability of a generalized fifth-order KdV equation is investigated. It is proven that this equation passes the Painlevé test for integrability only for three distinct cases. Moreover, the multisoliton solutions are presented for this equation under three sets of integrable conditions. Finally, by selecting appropriate parameters, we analyze the evolution of two solitons, which is especially interesting as it may describe the overtaking and the head-on collisions of solitary waves of different shapes and different types.     

Asymptotics of Tracy-Widom Distributions and the Total Integral of a Painlevé II Function

The Tracy-Widom distribution functions involve integrals of a Painlevé II function starting from positive infinity. In this paper, we express the Tracy-Widom distribution functions in terms of integrals starting from minus infinity. There are two consequences of these new representations. The first is the evaluation of the total integral of the Hastings-McLeod solution of the Painlevé II equation. The second is the evaluation of the constant term of the asymptotic expansions of the Tracy-Widom distribution functions as the distribution parameter approaches minus infinity. For the GUE Tracy-Widom distribution function, this gives an alternative proof of the recent work of Deift, Its, and Krasovsky. The constant terms for the GOE and GSE Tracy-Widom distribution functions are new.     

Properties of the series solution for Painlevé I

We present some observations on the asymptotic behaviour of the coefficients in the Laurent series expansion of solutions of the first Painlevé equation. For the general solution, explicit recursive formulae for the Taylor expansion of the tau-function around a zero are given, which are natural extensions of analogous formulae for the elliptic sigma function, as given by Weierstrass. Numerical and exact results on the symmetric solution which is singular at the origin are also presented.     

Painlevé expansions and the Einstein equations: the two-summand case

We investigate the existence of Painlevé–Kovalevskaya expansions for various reductions to ordinary differential equations of the Ricci-flat equations. We investigate links between such expansions and metrics of exceptional holonomy.
