Synopsis

Let u be a real valued strong solution defined in a cylindrical domain of a linear second-order parabolic equation in two space variables with entire coefficients. Then it is shown that on compact subsets of its domain of definition u can be approximated arbitrarily closely in the maximum norm by an entire solution of the parabolic equation.
