Synopsis

We discuss smooth changes of eigenvalues under perturbation of the boundary value problems given in the title. The simple eigenvalue criterion is developed in the setting of Banach spaces, so very general perturbations of both the differential equation and the boundary conditions are allowed. Further, we need no assumptions about self-adjointness of the original or perturbed problems. The discussion is concluded with the application of the simple eigenvalue criterion to two examples.
