Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to establish the expansion theorem for a regular right-definite eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator in Rn, (n2) with an eigenvalue parameter λ contained in the equation and the Robin boundary conditions on two “parts” of a smooth boundary of a simply connected bounded domain.
