A theorem on homogeneous differential polynomials in \(R^ 2\) (Q798503)

The author shows that a theorem of \textit{G. Bratti} [ibid. 69, 169-180 (1983)] on operators \(P(D_ x,D_ y)\) with constant coefficients can be proved by a more geometric method if P is homogeneous. The main part of the paper is the proof of \(D_ x(G(B))=G(B)\) for \(D_ x\)-convex sets \(B\subset {\mathbb{R}}^ 2\), \((G(B)=\{f\in C^{\infty}({\mathbb{R}}^ 2):f|_ B=0\}).\)
