Hile (Univ. of Hawaii, Honolulu, USA) A. Stanoyevitch (Univ. of Guam, Mangilao,USA) Abstract: Polynomial solutions analogous to the heat polynomials are demonstrated for higher order linear homogeneous evolution equations with coefficients depending on the time variable. Further parallels with the heat polynomials are established when the equation is parabolic with constant coefficients and only highest order terms. Submitted February 20, 2001. Published May 2, 2001.
