On the structure of the spectrum of a differential operator with a nonlocal condition (Q2496481)

The authors study the eigenvalue problem \[ \frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial x^{2}}+\frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial y^{2}}+\lambda u=0\qquad\text{in}\quad (0,1)\times(0,1) \] with the Dirichlet boundary condition \[ u(0,y)=u(x,0)=u(x,1)=0 \] and with the Bitsadze-Samarskii condition \[ u(1,y)=\gamma u(\xi,y), \] where \(\gamma\) and \(\xi\) are given real numbers and \(0<\xi<1\).
