Abstract: In previous work, Bender and Komijani (2015 extit{J. Phys. A: Math. Theor.} 48, 475202) studied the first Painlev'e (PI) equation and showed that the sequence of initial conditions giving rise to separatrix solutions could be asymptotically determined using a $mathcalPT$-symmetric Hamiltonian. In the present work, we consider the initial value problem of the PI equation in a more general setting. We show that the initial conditions $(y(0),y^{\prime }(0))=(a,b)$ located on a sequence of curves $Gamm{a}_n$, $n=1,2,dots$, will give rise to separatrix solutions. These curves separate the singular and the oscillating solutions of PI. The limiting form equation $b^2/4-a^3=f_{n}simA{n}^{6/5}$ for the curves $Gamm{a}_n$ as $noinfty$ is derived, where $A$ is a positive constant. The discrete set $f_n$ could be regarded as the nonlinear eigenvalues. Our analytical asymptotic formula of $Gamm{a}_n$ matches the numerical results remarkably well, even for small $n$. The main tool is the method of uniform asymptotics introduced by Bassom et al. (1998 extit{Arch. Rational Mech. Anal.} {143}, 241--271) in the studies of the second Painlev'e equation.
