Abstract

In this paper we find a class of solutions of the sixth Painlevé equation appearing in the theory of WDVV equations. This class covers almost all the monodromy data associated to the equation, except one point in the space of the data. We describe the critical behavior close to the critical points in terms of two parameters and we find the relation among the parameters at the different critical points (connection problem). We also study the critical behavior of Painlevé transcendents in the elliptic representation.
