It is known that Painlevé II has only simple poles $t_n$ as singularities and these poles have non-movable property, i.e., they depend only on the equation rather than initial conditions. One can try to search for solution as

\begin{equation} y = \sum y_n/(t-t_n), \end{equation}

where the coefficients are determined (local analysis) but $t_n$ are indeterminate.

Question. Has anybody tried this approach and does it lead to something useful?

By "useful" I mean e.g. asymptotic expansion in $n$, as dictated by "resurgent philosophy" (Écalle, Costin, Sauzin, …).

\begin{equation} t_n = \sum A_{a,b} n^a log^b(n) \end{equation}

for some $A_{a,b}$ determined e.g. recursively.

    $\begingroup$ You are stating Painleve's result incorrectly. Painleve II has MOVABLE poles, and no other singularities in the complex plane. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 21, 2022 at 2:23

Refer P. Clarkson and E. Mansfield, The second Painlevé equation, its hierarchy and associated special polynomials, Nonlinearity, Volume 16, Number 3, per https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0951-7715/16/3/201, as it seems to be relevant to your question.
