Abstract
Polynomial expansions of analytic solutions of linear partial differential equations can be the base for results on the continuation of analytic solutions. An example is the one-dimensional heat equation for which this 'continuation via polynomials' was discovered by Widder [8], In the present paper a Banach scales method is used for the discussion of polynomial expansions in a general framework. For two classes of linear partial differential equations it is shown that 'the general expansion results yield results on the continuation of analytic solutions.
