Abstract: We analyze the polynomial solutions of the linear differential equation $p_2(x)y^{″}+p_1(x)y^{\prime }+p_0(x)y=0$ where $p_j(x)$ is a $j^{mth}$-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.
