A family of Schwartz functions W (t) are interpreted as eigensolutions of MADEs in the sense that W (δ) (t) = E W (q γ t) where the eigenvalue E ∈ R is independent of the advancing parameter q > 1 . The parameters δ , γ ∈ N are characteristics of the MADE. Some issues, which are related to corresponding q-advanced PDEs, are also explored. In the limit that q → 1 + we show convergence of MADE eigenfunctions to solutions of ODEs, which involve only simple exponentials and trigonometric functions. The limit eigenfunctions ( q = 1 + ) are not Schwartz, thus convergence is only uniform in t ∈ R on compact sets. An asymptotic analysis is provided for MADEs which indicates how to extend solutions in a neighborhood of the origin t = 0 . Finally, an expanded table of Fourier transforms is provided that includes Schwartz solutions to MADEs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
