Abstract:
We
consider a regular boundary value problem for the formally
selfadjoint ordinary differential operator of arbitrary order. The
operator is defined on the space of vector functions and the
boundary condition contains the eigenvalue parameter. This problem
is adequate to the eigenvalue problem for a selfadjoint operator in
a wider Pontryagin space $\Pi_\kappa$. The expansion on
eigenfunctions and adjoint functions is obtained. The dependence
between $\kappa$ and the polynomials in the boundary condition is
investigated.
