In the first part of our paper we discuss linear 2nd order differential equations in the complex domain, especially Heun class equations, that is, the Heun equation and its confluent cases. The second part of our paper is devoted to Painlevé I-VI equations. Our philosophy is to treat these families of equations in a unified way. This philosophy works especially well for Heun class equations. We discuss its classification into 5 supertypes, subdivided into 10 types (not counting trivial cases). We also introduce in a unified way deformed Heun class equations, which contain an additional nonlogarithmic singularity. We show that there is a direct relationship between deformed Heun class equations and all Painlevé equations. In particular, Painlevé equations can be also divided into 5 supertypes, and subdivided into 10 types. This relationship is not so easy to describe in a completely unified way, because the choice of the ''time variable'' may depend on the type. We describe unified treatments for several possible ''time variables''.

AbstractA rigorous proof of the irreducibility of the second and fourth Painlevé equations is given by applying Umemura’s theory on algebraic differential equations ([26], [27], [28]) to the two equations. The proof consists of two parts: to determine a necessary condition for the parameters of the existence of principal ideals invariant under the Hamiltonian vector field; to determine the principal invariant ideals for a parameter where the principal invariant ideals exist. Our method is released from complicated calculation, and applicable to the proof of the irreducibility of the third, fifth and sixth equation (e.g. [32]).

In this paper new exact solutions are derived for the physically and mathematically significant Boussinesq equation. These are obtained in two different ways: first, by generating exact solutions to the ordinary differential equations which arise from (classical and nonclassical) similarity reductions of the Boussinesq equation (these ordinary differential equations are solvable in terms of the first, second and fourth Painlevé equations); and second, by deriving new space-independent similarity reductions of the Boussinesq equation. Extensive sets of exact solutions for both the second and fourth Painlevé equations are also generated. The symbolic manipulation language MACSYMA is employed to facilitate the calculations involved.

Abstract The purpose of this manuscript is to study some properties on meromorphic solutions for several types of q-difference equations. Some exponents of convergence of zeros, poles and fixed points related to meromorphic solutions for some q-difference equations are obtained. Our theorems are some extension and improvements to those results given by Qi, Peng, Chen, and Zhang.

AbstractWe study the discrete flows generated by the symmetry group of the BPS quivers for Calabi–Yau geometries describing five-dimensional superconformal quantum field theories on a circle. These flows naturally describe the BPS particle spectrum of such theories and at the same time generate bilinear equations of q-difference type which, in the rank one case, are q-Painlevé equations. The solutions of these equations are shown to be given by grand canonical topological string partition functions which we identify with $$\tau $$ τ -functions of the cluster algebra associated to the quiver. We exemplify our construction in the case corresponding to five-dimensional SU(2) pure super Yang–Mills and $$N_f=2$$ N f = 2 on a circle.

Abstract The goal of this paper is to investigate the missing part of the story about the relationship between the orthogonal polynomial ensembles and Painlevé equations. Namely, we consider the $q$-Racah polynomial ensemble and show that the one-interval gap probabilities in this case can be expressed through a solution of the discrete $q$-P$\left (E_7^{(1)}/A_{1}^{(1)}\right )$ equation. Our approach also gives a new Lax pair for this equation. This Lax pair has an interesting additional involutive symmetry structure.
