On One‐Parameter Families of Painlevé III

Albrecht, Mansfield, and Milne developed a direct method with which one can calculate special integrals of polynomial type (also known as one‐parameter family conditions, Darboux polynomials, eigenpolynomials, or algebraic invariant curves) for nonlinear ordinary differential equations of polynomial type. We apply this method to the third Painlevé equation and prove that for the generic case, the set of known one‐parameter family conditions is complete.
