For , the power series coefficients obey . The condition makes every even coefficient zero. A nonzero odd series terminates precisely when with an odd positive integer. A polynomial of degree must have this value of by comparison of leading coefficients, so these are all possibilities. With , the first three polynomial solutions are , , and , with . They are scalar multiples of the odd Hermite polynomials.
