Abstract:
We consider the asymptotic limit as the independent variable approaches infinity, of the fourth-order second Painlevé equation obtained from a hierarchy based on the Jimbo-Miwa Lax pair. We prove that there exist two families of algebraic formal power series solutions and that there exist true solutions with these behaviours in sectors of the complex plane. Given we also prove that there exists a wider sector in which there exists a unique solution in each family. These provide the analogue of Boutroux's tri-tronquée solutions for the classical second Painlevé equation. Surprisingly, they also extend beyond the tri-tronquée solutions in the sense that we find penta-, hepta-, ennea-, and hendeca-tronquée solutions.
