Painlevé Differential Equations in the Complex Plane

"Few books concentrating on topics in Painlevé equations have been published, especially in English, since the appearance of those equations in the beginning of the last century. For this reason, this book written by Gromak, Laine and Shimomura is valuable for those who wish to learn quickly the fundamental properties of Painlevé equations without the need to refer to a large number of original papers on them [...]" Zentralblatt für Mathematik

"[...] due to the relatively elementary treatment of the complicated subject, the book under review will be able to attract the attention of specialists and young researchers." Mathematical Reviews
