    A method to linearize the initial value problem of the Painlevé equations IV, V is given. The procedure involves formulating a Riemann- Hilbert boundary value problem on intersecting lines for the inverse monodromy problem. This boundary value problem is reduced to a sequence of standard problems on single lines in a certain range of parameter space. Schlesinger transformations allow one to completely cover the parameter space. Special solutions are constructed from special cases of the Riemann problem as well.
