Abstract

Let us denote V{\cal V}, the finite dimensional vector spaces of functions of the form ψ(x)=pn(x)+f(x)pm(x)\psi(x) = p_n(x) + f(x) p_m(x) where pn(x)p_n(x) and pm(x)p_m(x) are arbitrary polynomials of degree at most nn and mm in the variable xx while f(x)f(x) represents a fixed function of xx. Conditions on m,nm,n and f(x)f(x) are found such that families of linear differential operators exist which preserve V{\cal V}. A special emphasis is accorded to the cases where the set of differential operators represents the envelopping algebra of some abstract algebra.
