Conditions on $m,n$ and $f(x)$ are found such that families of linear differential operators exist which preserve ${\cal V}$. A special emphasis is accorded to the cases where the set of differential operators represents the envelopping algebra of some abstract algebra.6 pages, LaTeX, discussion extended, reference addedMathematical PhysicsOn linear operators with an invariant subspace of functionstext
