Abstract: We consider the quasi-Ablowitz-Segur and quasi-Hastings-McLeod solutions of the inhomogeneous Painlev'e II equation ${\displaystyle }$ u"(x)=2u^3(x)+xu(x)-alpha qquad extrm{for } alpha in mathbb{R} extrm{ and } |alpha| > frac{1}{2}. ${\displaystyle }$ These solutions are obtained from the classical Ablowitz-Segur and Hastings-McLeod solutions via the B"acklund transformation, and satisfy the same asymptotic behaviors when $xopminfty$. For $|alpha|>1/2$, we show that the quasi-Ablowitz-Segur and quasi-Hastings-McLeod solutions possess $[,|alpha|+frac12,]$ simple poles on the real axis, which rigorously justifies the numerical results in Fornberg and Weideman (Found. Comput. Math., 14 (2014), no. 5, 985-1016).
