Abstract

For each one of the six well-known Painlev´e equations, it is proved that there exists a unique analytic solution which together with its first two derivatives converge absolutely in a specified region of the complex plane. Moreover, we give a bound of the solution for all six Painlev´e equations and a bound of the first two derivatives of the solution for the last four Painlev´e equations. Finally for all of them we give a region, depending on the initial conditions and the parameters of the equations, in which the solution holds.
