In our recent publications, the partition function of the Gross-Witten-Wadia unitary matrix model with the logarithmic term has been identified with the tau function of a certain Painleve system, and the double scaling limit of the associated discrete Painleve equation to the critical point provides us with the Painleve II equation. This limit captures the critical behavior of the su(2), N (f) = 2, N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory around its Argyres-Douglas 4D superconformal point. Here, we consider further extension of the model that contains the kth multicritical point and that is to be identified with (A) over cap (2k, 2k) theory. In the k = 2 case, we derive a system of two ODEs for the scaling functions to the free energy, the time variable being the scaled total mass and make a consistency check on the spectral curve on this matrix model.
