Regular boundary value problems for the Dirac operator (Q2243745)

Consider the Dirac system \(By^{\prime}+Vy=\lambda y\), where \(y=\text{col}(y_1 (x), y_2 (x))\), \[B=\begin{pmatrix} -i & 0\\ 0 & i \end{pmatrix}, \quad V=\begin{pmatrix} 0 & P(x)\\ Q(x) & 0 \end{pmatrix},\] \(P(x),Q(x)\in L_1 (0,\pi)\), with two point boundary conditions \(U(y)=Cy(0)+Dy(\pi)=0\), where \[C=\begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12}\\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{pmatrix}, \quad D=\begin{pmatrix} a_{13} & a_{14}\\ a_{23} & a_{24} \end{pmatrix},\] the coefficients \(a_{ij}\) are arbitrary complex numbers, and the rows of the matrix \[A=\begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} & a_{14}\\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} & a_{24} \end{pmatrix}\] are linearly independent. The main result of the paper is based on conditions under which the root function system forms a common Riesz basis rather than a Riesz basis with parentheses.
