Approximate symmetry conjecture for real Painlevé I solutions
Approximate symmetry conjecture for real Painlevé I solutions
Let and define a first solution of the first Painlevé equation, and let the second solution be defined by the data and . Let be the difference between their initial slopes. Approximate symmetry conjecture. The integer part of this difference is zero:
The claim is based on numerical values of the slope-difference function and expresses an approximate symmetry under simultaneous sign reversal of the initial and minimum values; it remains unproved in the source.
