Abstract

In the work we study the completeness conditions for the system of root functions (SRF) of the operator $L_U$ generated by the differential expression
$$l(y)=-y''+qy \quad (q\in L_1(0,1))$$
and the integral conditions
$$y^{(j-1)}(0)+(l(y),u_j)=0 \quad (u_j\in L_2(0,1),\ j=1,2)$$
in the space $H=L_2(0,1)$. We show that SRF of the operator $L_U$ is complete in its domain if there exist two rays in the upper half-plane such for all large $\lambda$ on these rays the characteristic determinant is bounded from below by the function $\lambda^{m}e^{-|\mathrm{Im}\,\lambda|}$, $\displaystyle{m\geq\frac{1}{2}}$. If the operator $L_U$ is densely defined, then to ensure the completeness of SRF in $H$, it is sufficient to have the mentioned estimate with an arbitrary $m\in \mathbb{R}$. Moreover, we obtain an integral representation for the characteristic determinant as the sine--transform of some function $A$, which is expressed via $u_1$, $u_2$ and the kernel of the transformation operator for the equation $l(y)=\lambda^2y$. Employing this representation, we find explicit (in terms of the functions $u_1,u_2$) completeness conditions for SRF of the operator $L_U$ in $H$ or $D(L_U)$.
