TY - JOUR T1 - On the Logarithmic Asymptotics of the Sixth Painleve\' Equation (Summer 2007) JF - J.Phys.A: Math.Theor. 41,(2008), 205201-205247 Y1 - 2008 A1 - Davide Guzzetti AB - We study the solutions of the sixth Painlev\'e equation with a logarithmic\r\nasymptotic behavior at a critical point. We compute the monodromy group\r\nassociated to the solutions by the method of monodromy preserving deformations\r\nand we characterize the asymptotic behavior in terms of the monodromy itself.

It is published in Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, Volume 41, Issue 20, 6 May 2008, p. 205201-205247. It was on the archive in January 2008 (arXiv:0801.1157). This version does not differ from the published one except for two facts: 1)the addition of subsection 8.2, which proves that tr(M0Mx) = −2 for solutions y(x) ∼ a (ln x)n , n = 1, 2, x → 0. 2).
