Abstract
In the present paper we study nonlocal problems for ordinary differential
equations with a discontinuous coefficient for the high order derivative.
We establish sufficient conditions, known as regularity conditions, which
guarantee the coerciveness for both the space variable and the spectral
parameter, as well as guarantee the completeness of the system of root
functions. The results obtained are then applied to the study of a nonlocal
parabolic transmission problem.
