- Synopsis
- This book gives an introduction to the modern theory of special functions. It focuses on the nonlinear Painlevé differential equation and its solutions, the so-called Painlevé functions. It contains modern treatments of the Gauss hypergeometric differential equation, monodromy of second order Fuchsian equations and nonlinear differential equations near singular points.The book starts from an elementary level requiring only basic notions of differential equations, function theory and group theory. Graduate students should be able to work with the text."The authors do an excellent job of presenting both the historical and mathematical details of the subject in a form accessible to any mathematician or physicist." (MPR in "The American Mathematical Monthly" März 1992.
