Synopsis

In this paper we consider differential-boundary operators T over a finite interval depending on a complex parameter. A differential-boundary operator admits boundary conditions in the differential part. The boundary part contains multipoint boundary conditions and integral conditions. For Birkhoff-regular boundary conditions we prove that every Lp -function is expansible into a series with respect to the eigenfunctions and the associated functions of the differential-boundary operator. Here the Birkhoff-regularity only depends on the boundary conditions at the endpoints of the interval, i.e. T is Birkhoff-regular if and only if T0 is Birkhoff-regular where T0 arises from T by omitting the boundary part in the differential equations, the interior point boundary conditions and the integral condition.
