摘要
We analyze the polynomial solutions of the linear differential equation p(2)(x)y"+ p(1)(x)y' + p(0)(x)y = 0 where p(j)(x) is a jth-degree polynomial. We discuss all the possible polynomial solutions and their dependence on the parameters of the polynomials p(j)(x). Special cases are related to known differential equations of mathematical physics. Classes of new soluble problems are exhibited. General results are obtained for weight functions and orthogonality relations. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
