In his paper [2], [3], D. A. Hejhal investigated the variational theory of linear polynomic functions. In this paper we are concerned with the variational theory of higher-order differential equations. To be more precise, consider a compact Riemann surface having genus g > 1. As is well known, we can choose a projective coordinate covering U = (Ua, za). Fix this coordinate covering of X. We shall be concerned with linear ordinary differential operators of order n defined in each projective coordinate open set Ua
