Abstract: Navier equations are used to describe the deformation of a homogeneous, isotropic and linear elastic medium in the absence of body forces. Mathematically, the system is a natural vector (field) O(n,mbbR)-invariant generalization of the classical Laplace equation, which physically describes the vibration of a string. In this paper, we decompose the space of polynomial solutions of Navier equations into a direct sum of irreducible O(n,mbbR)-submodules and construct an explicit basis for each irreducible summand. Moreover, we explicitly solve the initial value problems for Navier equations and their wave-type extension--Lam'e equations by Fourier expansion and Xu's method of solving flag partial differential equations.
