On the basis property of the root functions of differential operators with matrix coefficients (Q657294)

The author proves a number of theorems on the Riesz basis property of the root functions of the Sturm-Liouville operator \(H\). Asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the operator \(L\) are obtained. The operator is generated by a system of ordinary differential equations with summable coefficients and periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions. Necessary and sufficient conditions on the coefficients \(P_2(x)\) for which the root functions of \(L\) form a Riesz basis are then determined.
