Popis: We analytically solve for the time dependent solutions of various density evolution models. With specific forms of the diffusion, drift and sink coefficients, the eigenfunctions can be expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions. We obtain the relevant discrete and continuous spectra for the eigenfunctions. With non-zero sink terms the discrete spectra eigenfunctions are generalisations of well known orthogonal polynomials: the so-called associated-Laguerre, Bessel, Fisher-Snedecor and Romanovski functions. We use a MacRobert's proof to obtain closed form expressions for the continuous normalisation of the Romanovski density function. Finally, we apply our results to obtain the analytical solutions associated with the Bertalanffy-Richards Langevin equation.
Comment: Slightly altered title, streamlined presentation, updated references, added a more rigorous proof in the appendix, results unchanged. 23 pages, 3 figures
