Abstract: Unstable separatrix solutions for the first and second Painlev'e transcendents are studied both numerically and analytically. For a fixed initial condition, say $y(0)=0$, there is a discrete set of initial slopes $y^{\prime }(0)=b_n$ that give rise to separatrix solutions. Similarly, for a fixed initial slope, say $y^{\prime }(0)=0$, there is a discrete set of initial values $y(0)=c_n$ that give rise to separatrix solutions. For Painlev'e I the large-$n$ asymptotic behavior of $b_n$ is $b_{n}sim{B}_{mI}{n}^{3/5}$ and that of $c_n$ is $c_{n}sim{C}_{mI}{n}^{2/5}$, and for Painlev'e II the large-$n$ asymptotic behavior of $b_n$ is $b_{n}sim{B}_{mII}{n}^{2/3}$ and that of $c_n$ is $c_{n}sim{C}_{mII}{n}^{1/3}$. The constants $B_{mI}$, $C_{mI}$, $B_{mII}$, and $C_{mII}$ are first determined numerically. Then, they are found analytically and in closed form by reducing the nonlinear equations to the linear eigenvalue problems associated with the cubic and quartic PT-symmetric Hamiltonians $H=frac12p^2+2i{x}^3$ and $H=frac12p^2-frac12x^4$.
