The object of this paper is
to characterize functions which have L2 expansions in terms of polynomial solutions
Pn,ν(x,t) of the generalized heat equation
| (*) |
and in terms of the Appell transforms Wn,ν(x,t) of the Pn,ν(x,t). H∗ denotes
the C2 class of functions u(x,t) which, for a < t < b, satisfy (*) and for
which
for all t, t′, a < t′ < t < b, the integral converging absolutely, where G(x,y;t) is the
source solution of (*). The principal results are the following:
Theorem. Let u(x,t) ∈ H∗, − σ ≦ t < 0, and
for each fixed t − σ ≦ t < 0, 0 ≦ x < ∞. Then, for −σ ≦ t < 0,
and

Theorem. If u(x,t) ∈ H∗, 0 < t ≦ σ, and if
for each fixed t, 0 < t ≦ σ, 0 ≦ x < ∞, then, for 0 < t ≦ σ,
