Painlevé transcendents and the Hankel determinants generated by a discontinuous Gaussian weight

This paper studies the Hankel determinants generated by a discontinuous Gaussian weight with one and two jumps. It is an extension in a previous study, in which they studied the discontinuous Gaussian weight with a single jump. By using the ladder operator approach, we obtain a series of difference and differential equations to describe the Hankel determinant for the single jump case. These equations include the Chazy II equation, continuous and discrete Painlevé IV. In addition, we consider the large n behavior of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials and prove that they satisfy the biconfluent Heun equation. We also consider the jump at the edge under a double scaling, from which a Painlevé XXXIV appeared. Furthermore, we study the Gaussian weight with two jumps and show that a quantity related to the Hankel determinant satisfies a two variables' generalization of the Jimbo‐Miwa‐Okamoto σ‐form of the Painlevé IV.     

Exact Wigner Surmise Type Evaluation of the Spacing Distribution in the Bulk of the Scaled Random Matrix Ensembles

Random matrix ensembles with orthogonal and unitary symmetry correspond to the cases of real symmetric and Hermitian random matrices, respectively. We show that the probability density function for the corresponding spacings between consecutive eigenvalues can be written exactly in the Wigner surmise type form a(s)e^–b(s) for a simply related to a Painlevé transcendent and b its anti-derivative. A formula consisting of the sum of two such terms is given for the symplectic case (Hermitian matrices with real quaternion elements).     

A numerical methodology for the Painlevé equations

The six Painlevé transcendents P_I − P_VI have both applications and analytic properties that make them stand out from most other classes of special functions. Although they have been the subject of extensive theoretical investigations for about a century, they still have a reputation for being numerically challenging. In particular, their extensive pole fields in the complex plane have often been perceived as ‘numerical mine fields’. In the present work, we note that the Painlevé property in fact provides the opportunity for very fast and accurate numerical solutions throughout such fields. When combining a Taylor/Padé-based ODE initial value solver for the pole fields with a boundary value solver for smooth regions, numerical solutions become available across the full complex plane. We focus here on the numerical methodology, and illustrate it for the P_I equation. In later studies, we will concentrate on mathematical aspects of both the P_I and the higher Painlevé transcendents.

Amalgamations of the Painlevé Equations

We present new hierarchies of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that are generalizations of the Painlevé equations. These hierarchies contain the Painlevé equations as special cases. We emphasize the sixth-order ODEs. Special solutions for one of them are expressed via the general solutions of the P ₁ and P ₂ equations and special cases of the P ₃ and P ₅ equations. Four of the six Painlevé equations can be considered special cases of these sixth-order ODEs. We give linear representations for solving the Cauchy problems for the hierarchy equations using the inverse monodromy transform.     

Movable Singularities of Solutions of Difference Equations in Relation to Solvability and a Study of a Superstable Fixed Point

We review applications of exponential asymptotics and analyzable function theory to difference equations in defining an analogue of the Painlevé property for them, and we sketch the conclusions about the solvability properties of first-order autonomous difference equations. If the Painlevé property is present, the equations are explicitly solvable; otherwise, under additional assumptions, the integrals of motion develop singularity barriers. We apply the method to the logistic map x _n+1=ax _n (1–x _n ), where we find that the only cases with the Painlevé property are a=–2,0,2, and 4, for which explicit solutions indeed exist; otherwise, an associated conjugation map develops singularity barriers.     

Value distribution of the fifth Painlevé transcendents in sectorial domains

This article is concerned with a value distribution of the fifth Painlevé transcendents in sectorial domains around a fixed singular point. We show that the cardinality of the 1-points of a fifth Painlevé transcendent in a sector has an asymptotic growth of finite order, thereby giving an improvement of the known estimates.     

An application of single-term Haar wavelet series in the solution of nonlinear oscillator equations

In this paper, a novel single-term Haar wavelet series (STHWS) method is implemented for the solution of the Duffing equation and Painleve’s transcendents (PI and PII). The results, in the form of a block pulse and a discrete solution, are presented. Unlike classical numerical schemes, the STHWS method has no restrictions on the coefficients of the Duffing equation as regards its solution. PI and PII are analysed as regards their solutions, up to nearest singularities (poles), using the STHWS. Also, an efficient computational implementation shows the remarkable features of wavelet based techniques.
