Title: Resurgent trans-series for generalized Hastings–McLeod solutions

Abstract

Here, we show that the physical Hastings–McLeod solution of the integrable Painlevé II equation generalizes in a natural way to a class of non-integrable equations, in a way that preserves many of the significant qualitative properties. The Hastings–McLeod solution of Painlevé II is an important and universal example of resurgent relations between perturbative and non-perturbative physics. We derive the trans-series structure of the generalized Hastings–McLeod solutions, demonstrating that integrability is not essential for the resurgent asymptotic properties of the solutions.
