Abstract

We study the ancient solutions of parabolic equations on an infinite strip. We show that any polynomial growth ancient solution for a class of parabolic equations must be constant. Furthermore, we show that the vector space of ancient solutions that grow slower than a fixed exponential order is of finite dimension.
