Bäcklund transformations for first and second Painlevé hierarchies (Q1016705)

The known Bäcklund transformations of the first and second Painleve equations are generalized to the first and second Painlevé hierarchies, given in [\textit{N. A. Kudryashov}, J. Math. Phys. 44, No.~12, 6160--6178 (2003; Zbl 1063.34085); \textit{A. H. Sakka}, J. Phys. A, Math. Theor. 42, No.~2, Article ID 025210, 19 p. (2009; Zbl 1153.37421)]. Two new hierarchies of Painlevé-type equations related, via Bäcklund transformations, to the considered second Painlevé hierarchy are given and auto-Bäcklund transformations for this second Painlevé hierarchy are derived.
