On exact solutions for some matrix equations (Q1286771)

The explicit particular solutions to a class of generalized matrix Painlevé equations previously having no analogies in the scalar case are obtained. In a previous paper a class of equations, which are a rational generalization of Painlevé equations, were developed. However, the absence of moving singularities in the complex plane for their arguments is a characteristic for these equations having the form, \[ \ddot q=6q^2+tI,\tag{1} \] \[ \ddot q=2q^3-tq+ \lambda I, \tag{2} \] where \(q\) are \(n\times n\) matrices, \(I\) is the unit matrix, \(\lambda\) is a complex parameter. It was shown that (1) and (2) arise from the analogy with the scalar case. The coefficients of this system depend on \(t\), \(h\) and also \(q\) \((n\times n\) matrices) and their derivative \(\dot q\). This circumstance allows them to investigate equations (1)--(2) by means of auxiliary linear problems and, possibly, to express some of the solutions by means of the solutions to many-component linear singular integral equations with rather complicated arguments. It is shown that (1) and (2) possess solutions with moving poles, the expansion of which in the vicinity of such poles possesses \(2n^2\) arbitrary parameters. That is enough to state that these systems possess the Painlevé-Kovalevskaja property. In particular, for (2) these expansions have the form \[ q={\alpha\over t-t_0}+ \beta- \gamma(t-t_0)- \delta(t-t_0)^2 +\rho(t-t_0)^2 +\dots \tag{3} \] whereby the solutions depend on the parameter \(\alpha\), and other parameters. The paper is well organized and offers the reader valuable new insight into these varieties of problems.
