Lax pairs for Painlevé equations

Andrei Kapaev

Abstract: It is well known that the classical Painlevé equations allow Lax pair representations. It is less known that some of the Painlevé equations allow several representations of such kind. In the lecture, three regular procedures yielding the Lax pairs for Painlevé equations will be described, and the question of their (non)equivalence will be discussed as well.
