Lax representation and Darboux solutions of the classical Painlevé second equation (Q2247663)

The authors study the Darboux transformation of the second Painlevé equation. Iterating the Darboux transformations to a Lax pair, a series of solutions of the second Painlevé equation is expressed in terms of the Wronskians. The reviewer notes that the transformation obtained in this paper is nothing else than the known Bäcklund transformation, which gives the affine Weyl group symmetry of type \(A_1^{(1)}\).
