The paper is concerned with the investigation of the system of nontrivial complex-valued root functions \(\{u_n(x)\}^\infty_1\) to be absolutely continuous on any closed interval \([c,d]\subset(a,b)\) together with their derivatives up to the \((2m-1)\)th order for the nonselfadjoint differential operator \[ Lu= u^{(2m)}+ p_2(x)u^{(2m-2)}+\cdots+ p_{2m-1}(x)u'+ p_{2m}(x)u,\quad m\geq 2, \] with coefficients \(p_k(x)\in W^{(2m-k)}_1(a,b)\). The author studies the properties of the system \(\{u_n(x)\}^\infty_1\) to be an absolute basis in \(L_2(a,b)\) or a Bessel system in \(L_2(a,b)\) and establishes an a-posteriori estimate connecting the \(L_2\)-norm of a foregoing root function of the operator \(L\) with the \(L_2\)-norm of the next one. Notably, this estimate is, to some extent, equivalent to the uniform boundedness of the rank of eigenfunctions of the system \(\{u_n(x)\}^\infty_1\).
