The Painleve property of the hedgehog configuration of the Skyrme model is investigated with the aid of the the Ablowitz-Ramani-Segur algorithm (Painleve test). The field equation seems to pass the Painleve test leaving two free parameters in the solutions of Laurent-series-type. The convergence property of solutions of Laurent-series-type is examined numerically up to 500th order. The series seems to have a finite radius of convergence. The profile function of the model is investigated and static energy of the model is numerically calculated.
Key words: Skyrme model, non-linear sigma model, Painleve test, topological soliton
