Truncated solutions of Painlevé equation \({\mathrm P}_{\mathrm V}\) (Q1755850)

Generic Painlevé transcendents have poles in any sector towards infinity. Special (truncated) solutions are free of poles in some sectors, at least for large values of the independent variable. It is conjectured by Dubrovin and Novokshenov that truncated solutions have no poles whatsoever in these sectors. There exist five families representing asymptotic behaviors of truncated solutions, analytic in (almost) a half plane for large \(|x|\); the position of the half plane is determined by exponentially small terms. In the present paper these terms are expressed using a full formal solution (transseries), Borel summable to actual solutions. This yields one-parameter families of truncated solutions as series which converge in appropriate (almost) half-planes. The position of the first array of poles, bordering the region of analyticity, is also found. A brief historical note, and references on truncated solutions of the other Painlevé equations are also included.
