Abstract:
We obtain the formula determining the general form of polynomial Hamiltonians
associated with the sixth Painlevé equation and prove its uniqueness. We
prove the existence of nonpolynomial Hamiltonians associated with this
equation. We identify the Hamiltonian class for which the defining
differential equation coincides with the equation ($h$-equation) for
the simplest polynomial Hamiltonian (the Okamoto Hamiltonian).
Keywords:Painlevé equation, Hamiltonian, family of solutions, Bäcklund transformation, Heun equation.
