Abstract: One of the fourth-order analog to the first Painlev'{e} equation is studied. All power expansions for solutions of this equation near points z=0 and z=infty are found by means of the power geometry method. The exponential additions to the expansion of solution near z=infty are computed. The obtained results confirm the hypothesis that the fourth-order analog of the first Painlev'{e} equation determines new transcendental functions.


The authors describe the formal local expansions at the origin and infinity to solutions of the second member of the hierarchy of ODEs associated with the first Painlevé equation, i.e. \[ w_{zzzz}+18ww_{zz}+9w_z^2+24w^3=z. \] The authors use the so-called power geometry method which provides a systematic way of finding dominant balances among the terms presented in the equation. The results include: the Taylor expansion of the solution at the origin depending on four arbitrary constants; two kinds of the Laurent expansions with the principal singular terms \(-1/z^2\) and \(-5/z^2\) depending on three and two arbitrary parameters, respectively; three kinds of formal power expansions near infinity with the leading order term \(w\sim\bigl(z/24\bigr)^{1/3}e^{i2\pi n/3}\), \(n=0,\pm1\). For each of the latter formal expansions, the authors find several exponential additions. The final form of the formal expansion to the solution \(w(z)\) at infinity obtained in the paper involves three arbitrary constants corresponding to the three nested levels of exponential additions. Unfortunately, the authors do not discuss the analytic interpretation of their expansions as being left on the stage of formal technical implementation of the method which, in fact, also is not explained in the paper.
