Proof of the Dubrovin conjecture and analysis of the tritronquée solutions of PI. (English) Zbl 1305.34151

Duke Math. J. 163, No. 4, 665-704 (2014).
Based on a number of numeric evidences, B. Dubrovin et al. [J. Nonlinear Sci. 19, No. 1, 57–94 (2009; Zbl 1220.37048)] conjectured that the tritronquée solutions of the first Painlevé equation PI, \(y''=6y^2+z\), are analytic in a sector of width \(8\pi/5\) including the origin and in some neighborhood of the origin itself as well. The authors of the present paper give a complete and rigorous proof of this conjecture.
The idea of the proof is very classical and involves a construction of an approximate solution to PI and an analysis of a small difference between the approximate solution \(y_0(z)\) and the genuine tritronquée solution \(y_t(z)\) using the nonlinear integral equation technique and contractive mapping arguments. The construction of the aproximate solution depends on the domain of the complex plane \(z\): in the sectors separated from the boundaries of the sector of analyticity and lying apart from the origin, \(y_0(z)\) is simply two initial terms of the asymptotic series of \(y_t(z)\) at infinity. The approximate solution near the boundary of the sector of analyticity involves also several exponential terms of the trans-series for \(y_t(z)\) that reflect the effects of the nearby poles. In a neighborhood of the origin, the authors approximate and extend one of the above quasi-solutions \(y_0(z)\) by projecting its Taylor series to a sum of the Chebyshev polynomials.
