We look for solutions

$ u\left( x,t\right) $

of the one-dimensional heat equation

$ u_{t} = u_{xx} $

which are space-time periodic, i.e. they satisfy the property

$ u\left( x+a,t+b\right) = u\left( x,t\right) $

for all

$ \left( x,t\right) \in\left( -\infty,\infty\right) \times\left( -\infty,\infty\right), $

and derive their Fourier series expansions. Here

$ a\geq0,\ b\geq 0 $

are two constants with

$ a^{2}+b^{2}>0. $

For general equation of the form

$ u_{t} = u_{xx}+Au_{x}+Bu, $

where

$ A,\ B $

are two constants, we also have similar results. Moreover, we show that non-constant bounded periodic solution can occur only when

$ B>0 $

and is given by a linear combination of

$ \cos\left( \sqrt{B}\left( x+At\right) \right) $

and

$ \sin\left( \sqrt{B}\left( x+At\right) \right). $

Keywords: Heat equation, time-periodic solution, space-periodic solution, space-time periodic solution, travelling wave solution.
