Abstract: We study a double scaling limit for a solution of the discrete Painlev'e II equation with boundary conditions. The location of the right boundary point is in the critical regime where the discrete Painlev'e equation turns into the continuous Painlev'e II equation. Our main results it that, instead of the Hastings-McLeod solution (which would occur when the right boundary point is at infinity), the solution to the discrete equation converges in a double scaling limit to a tronqu'ee solution of the Painlev'e II equation that behaves like the Hastings-McLeod solution at minus infinity and has a pole at a prescribed location. Our proof of the double scaling limit is based on finding an approximation that is sufficiently close in order to apply the Kantorovich theorem for Netwons method. To meet the criteria for this theorem, we will establish a lower bound for the solutions to the Painlev'e II equation that occur (including the Hastings-McLeod solution).
