Abstract:
This paper proposes a new approach to the asymptotic analysis of Painlevé equations. The approach is based on representing solutions of the Painlevé equations using formal series in two variables, $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}y^kA_k(x)$, with rational functions $A_k(x)$. The approach is applied to the asymptotic analysis of the third degenerate Painlevé equation.
