with $\alpha$ , $\beta$ , $\gamma$ , and $\delta$ arbitrary constants. The solutions of $\mbox{P}_{{\mbox{\scriptsize I}}}$ – $\mbox{P}_{{\mbox{\scriptsize VI}}}$ are called the Painlevé transcendents. The six equations are sometimes referred to as the Painlevé transcendents, but in this chapter this term will be used only for their solutions.

Let

32.2.7 $\frac{{d}^{2}w}{{dz}^{2}}=F\left(z,w,\frac{dw}{dz}\right),$

be a nonlinear second-order differential equation in which is a rational function of and $\ifrac{dw}{dz}$ , and is locally analytic in , that is, analytic except for isolated singularities in $\Complex$ . In general the singularities of the solutions are movable in the sense that their location depends on the constants of integration associated with the initial or boundary conditions. An equation is said to have the Painlevé property if all its solutions are free from movable branch points; the solutions may have movable poles or movable isolated essential singularities (§1.10(iii)), however.

There are fifty equations with the Painlevé property. They are distinct modulo Möbius (bilinear) transformations

32.2.8

$W(\zeta)=\frac{a(z)w+b(z)}{c(z)w+d(z)},$

$\zeta=\phi(z),$

in which , , , , and $\phi(z)$ are locally analytic functions. The fifty equations can be reduced to linear equations, solved in terms of elliptic functions (Chapters 22 and 23), or reduced to one of $\mbox{P}_{{\mbox{\scriptsize I}}}$ – $\mbox{P}_{{\mbox{\scriptsize VI}}}$ .

For arbitrary values of the parameters $\alpha$ , $\beta$ , $\gamma$ , and $\delta$ , the general solutions of $\mbox{P}_{{\mbox{\scriptsize I}}}$ – $\mbox{P}_{{\mbox{\scriptsize VI}}}$ are transcendental, that is, they cannot be expressed in closed-form elementary functions. However, for special values of the parameters, equations $\mbox{P}_{{\mbox{\scriptsize II}}}$ – $\mbox{P}_{{\mbox{\scriptsize VI}}}$ have special solutions in terms of elementary functions, or special functions defined elsewhere in the DLMF.
