Abstract: We show that the alternative discrete Painlev'e I equation (alt-dP${}_{mI}$) has a unique solution which remains positive for all $ngeq0$. Furthermore, we identify this positive solution in terms of a special solution of the second Painlev'e equation (P${}_{mII}$) involving the Airy function $mathopmAi(t)$. The special-function solutions of P${}_{mII}$ involving only the Airy function $mathopmAi(t)$ therefore have the property that they remain positive for all $ngeq0$ and all $tgeq0$, which is a new characterization of these special solutions of P${}_{mII}$ and alt-dP${}_{mI}$.
