S. Fukutani et al., Special polynomials and the Hirota Bilinear relations of the second and the fourth Painleve equations, NAG MATH J, 159, 2000, pp. 179-200
We give a purely algebraic proof that the rational functions P-n(t), Q(n)(t
) inductively defined by the recurrence relation (1), (2) respectively, are
polynomials. The proof reveals the Hirota bilinear relations satisfied by
the tau-functions.
