On Divergence of Puiseux Series Asymptotic Expansions of Solutions to the Third Painlevé Equation

Abstract: In this paper we present a family of values of the parameters of the third Painlev\'{e} equation such that Puiseux series formally satisfying this equation -- considered as series of $z^{2/3}$ -- are series of exact Gevrey order one. We prove the divergence of these series and provide analytic functions which are approximated by them in sectors with the vertices at infinity.
