Approximating the poles of a Painlevé V transcendent for the Fredholm determinant of the sine kernel
Abstract
The Fredholm determinant of the sine kernel has an expression as an integral containing a Painlevé transcendent r satisfying Painlevé V, in the same way that the Fredholm determinant of the Airy kernel has an expression involving the Hastings-McLeod solution of Painlevé II. In this paper we use Padé approximation to approximate the poles of this Painlevé transcendent r in the complex plane. We use Padé approximation near $0$, Hermite-Padé approximation near $0$ and two-point Padé approximation near $0$ and infinity.
