We study a family of unbounded solutions to the Korteweg–de Vries equation which can be constructed as log-derivatives of deformed Airy kernel Fredholm determinants, and which are connected to an integro-differential version of the second Painlevé equation. The initial data of the Korteweg–de Vries solutions are well-defined for x> 0 , but not for x[removed] 0 they involve an integro-differential analogue of the Painlevé V equation. A special case of our results yields improved estimates for the tails of the narrow wedge solution to the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation.
