Decay at infinity of solutions to higher order partial differential equations: Removal of the curvature assumption

In an earlier paper a generalization of Rellich’s theorem on the Helmholz equation was obtained for a large class of higher order equationsP(1/i∂/∂x)u=f, subject to the condition that the Gaussian curvature ofP(ξ)=0 never vanish. This restriction is removed in this note.
