Multiple expansions in series of eigen- and associated functions of boundary eigenvalue problems nonlinearly dependent on the spectral parameter. I (Q914941)

Results indicated in the title are proved for the boundary value problem \[ \sum^{n}_{k=0}\lambda^ k\ell_ k(y)=0,\quad \sum^{n- 1}_{k=0}\sum^{h}_{j=0}\alpha_{\nu kj}(\lambda)y^{(k)}(a_ j)=0,\quad 1\leq \nu \leq n, \] where each \(\ell_ k\) is a linear ordinary differential operator of order n-k and the \(\alpha_{\nu kj}\) are polynomials. The proofs use ideas previously developed by the author [ibid. 14, 64-83 (1988; Zbl 0667.34029)].
