Abstract
The problem of asymptotic analysis of radially symmetric solutions of the sine-Gordon equation reducible to the third Painlevé transcendent is posed. Solutions with singularities at the origin are studied. For finite values of the independent variable, an asymptotic expansion of such a solution is obtained; the leading term of this expansion is a modulated elliptic function. The corresponding modulation equation and phase shift are written out.
