In
differential equations, the
mth-degree
caloric polynomial (or
heat polynomial) is a "parabolically
m-homogeneous" polynomial
Pm(
x,
t) that satisfies the
heat equation
"Parabolically m-homogeneous" means
The polynomial is given by
It is unique up to a factor.
With t = −1, this polynomial reduces to the mth-degree Hermite polynomial in x.
