Eigenfunction expansion for a regular fourth order eigenvalue problem with eigenvalue parameter in the boundary conditions (Q584488)

The authors consider the boundary value problem \[ (K(x)u'')''- (P(x)u')'+q(x)u=\lambda u,\quad u(a)=P(a)u'(a)=K(a)u''(a)=0,\quad K(b)u'''(b)-P(b)u'(b)=-\lambda u(b) \] with continuous functions K,P,q: [a,b]\(\to]0,+\infty [\) and a complex parameter \(\lambda\). They study Fourier expansions generated by the eigenfunctions of this problem.
