Eventual linearity of ultradiscrete Painlevé solutions

About 13 years old · traced to

Let YmY_m and ZmZ_m be solutions of ultradiscrete Painlevé VI without parity variables, with fixed parity variables ym=zm=−1\frak{y}_m=\frak{z}_m=-1 for all mm, and let Q,Ai,BiQ,A_i,B_i be the parameters subject to the constraint B3+B4+A1+A2=Q+A3+A4+B1+B2B_3+B_4+A_1+A_2=Q+A_3+A_4+B_1+B_2. Consider the linear forms

Ym=α′m+β′,Zm=α′m+γ′Y_m=\alpha'm+\beta',\qquad Z_m=\alpha'm+\gamma'

for m≤m0′m\leq m_0' and

Ym=(Q−α)m+β,Zm=αm+γY_m=(Q-\alpha)m+\beta,\qquad Z_m=\alpha m+\gamma

for m≥m0m\geq m_0, where m0,m0′∈Zm_0,m_0'\in\mathbb{Z} and α,β,γ,α′,β′,γ′∈R\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\alpha',\beta',\gamma'\in\mathbb{R}. Eventual linearity conjecture. Every solution Ym,ZmY_m,Z_m for m∈Zm\in\mathbb{Z} has this form for some m0,m0′m_0,m_0' and parameters satisfying the conditions in equations

andand

. The conjecture is supported by several numerical solutions and asserts that every solution is linear in both tails, with potentially different linear expressions as m→−∞m\to-\infty and m→+∞m\to+\infty.
