Logarithmic solutions of the fifth Painlevé equation near the origin (Q2396588)

The author builds two types of one-parametric families of logarithmic solutions (quadratic logarithmic and linear-logarithmic, respectively) near the origin of the fifth Painlevé equation \[ \frac{df^2 y}{d x^2}=\left(\frac{1}{2 y} +\frac{1}{y-1}\right) \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2 - \frac{1}{x} \frac{d y}{d x} + \frac{(y-1)^2}{x^2} \left(\alpha\,y + \frac{\beta}{y}\right) + \frac{\gamma\,y}{x} - \frac{y(y+1)}{2 (y-1)} \, \] with \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma \in\mathbb{C}\). Both types of logarithmic solutions are expanded into convergent series. It turns out that the logarithmic terms of the series representation of the quadratic logarithmic solutions are represented asymptotically in descending powers of \(\log x\); while these ones of the linear-logarithmic solutions are represented as polynomials in \(\log x\). The author also conjectures that the logarithmic terms of the quadratic logarithmic solutions are polynomials in \(\log x\) too. He consrtucts these solutions by iteration on rings of exponential type series with polynomial multipliers (for the linear-logarithmic solutions) and with asymptotic multipliers (for the quadratic logarithmic solutions).
