Abstract A non-perturbative effect in κ (renormalized string coupling) obtained from the large order behavior in the vicinity of the prototypical Argyres–Douglas critical point of su(2), N$_{f}$ = 2, supersymmetric gauge theory can be studied in the Gross–Witten–Wadia unitary matrix model with the log term: one as the work done against the barrier of the effective potential by a single eigenvalue lifted from the sea and the other as a non-perturbative function contained in the solutions of the nonlinear differential Painlevé II equation that goes beyond the asymptotic series. The leading behaviors are of the form . We make comments on their agreement.
