Abstract: In this paper, we solve the initial value problems of variable-coefficient generalized wave equations associated with trees and a large family of linear constant-coefficient partial differential equation by algebraic methods. Moreover, we find all the polynomial solutions for a 3-dimensional variable-coefficient flag partial differential equation of any order, the linear wave equation with dissipation and the generalized anisymmetrical Laplace equation. Furthermore, the polynomial-trigonometric solutions of a generalized Klein-Gordan equation associated with 3-dimensional generalized Tricomi operator $pt{l}_x^2+xpt{l}_y^2+ypt{l}_z^2$ are also given. As applications to representations of Lie algebras, we find certain irreducible polynomial representations of the Lie algebras $sl(n,mbbF),so(n,mbbF)$ and the simple Lie algebra of type $G_2$.

Review text

Partial differential equations of flag type are linear equations for a single unknown function \(u\) of the form \((d_1+f_1d_2+\cdots+f_{n-1}d_n)u=0,\) where \(d_1,\dots, d_n\) are commuting, locally nilpotent differential operators and \(f_1,\dots,f_{n-1}\) are polynomials satisfying \(d_i(f_j)=0\) whenever \(i>j\). They appear naturally in the representation theory of Lie algebras. The author proposes an algebraic method for the construction of polynomial solutions and applies it to a number of examples including generalized forms of the wave equation, the heat equation and the Laplace equation. Based on these results, two initial value problems are solved. Finally, as an application explicit bases for polynomial representations of Lie algebras are constructed.
