“…This relati(lnship has also been exploited to obtain Backlund transformations (re[ating solutions of a given Pain[eve equation to solutions of the same equation, but with different values of the parameters), rational solutions, and one-parameter families of solutions [20,[31][32][33]102]. Classically,Fuchs [3241,Garnier [122], and Schlesinger [320] considered the Painleve equations as the isomonodromic conditions for suitable linear systems with rational coefficients possessing regular and irregular singular points (see also Okamoto [219] 72,73,107,158,159,168,169,321,171,172,173,206,207,213,219,284].…”
