Basis property of eigen- and associated functions of an operator with nondense domain of definition in the example of the Orr–Sommerfeld problem

Abstract

In the paper, we propose a method for proving the unconditional basis property of eigen- and associated functions of an integro-differential operator defined on a nondense domain of definition. In particular, we obtain a new simpler proof of the unconditional basis property of eigenand associated functions of the spectral Orr–Sommerfeld problem, well-known in hydromechanics, which reduces to the eigenvalue problem for the operator under study.
