The aim of this research is clarify the special algebraic solutions of the Painlevé equations using the Weyl groups via the explicit example of the forth Painlevé equation which admits the Weyl group symmetry of type A2. We do so via an important object called τ-functions which is defined from the Hamiltonian representation of the Painlevé equation.
