Numerical Solution of Riemann-Hilbert Problems: Painlevé II

نویسنده

  • Sheehan Olver
چکیده

We describe a new, spectrally accurate method for solving matrixvalued Riemann–Hilbert problems numerically. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by computing solutions to the homogeneous Painlevé II equation. This can be used to relate initial conditions with asymptotic behaviour.

A general framework for solving Riemann-Hilbert problems numerically

A new, numerical framework for the approximation of solutions to matrix-valued Riemann–Hilbert problems is developed, based on a recent method for the homogeneous Painlevé II Riemann–Hilbert problem. We demonstrate its effectiveness by computing solutions to other Painlevé transcendents. An implementation in Mathematica is made available online.

Numerical solution of Riemann–Hilbert problems: random matrix theory and orthogonal polynomials

In recent developments, a general approach for solving Riemann–Hilbert problems numerically has been developed. We review this numerical framework, and apply it to the calculation of orthogonal polynomials on the real line. Combining this numerical algorithm with an approach to compute Fredholm determinants, we are able to calculate empirical measures and gap statistics for general finite-dimen...

Nonlinear steepest descent and the numerical solution of Riemann–Hilbert problems

The effective and efficient numerical solution of Riemann–Hilbert problems has been demonstrated in recent work. With the aid of ideas from the method of nonlinear steepest descent for Riemann– Hilbert problems, the resulting numerical methods have been shown numerically to retain accuracy as values of certain parameters become arbitrarily large. The primary aim of this paper is to prove that t...

A phase transition for non-intersecting Brownian motions, and the Painlevé II equation

We consider n non-intersecting Brownian motions with two fixed starting positions and two fixed ending positions in the large n limit. We show that in case of ‘large separation’ between the endpoints, the particles are asymptotically distributed in two separate groups, with no interaction between them, as one would intuitively expect. We give a rigorous proof using the Riemann-Hilbert formalism...

Rational Solutions of the Painlevé-II Equation Revisited

The rational solutions of the Painlevé-II equation appear in several applications and are known to have many remarkable algebraic and analytic properties. They also have several different representations, useful in different ways for establishing these properties. In particular, Riemann–Hilbert representations have proven to be useful for extracting the asymptotic behavior of the rational solut...
