Using these asymptotic formulas it is proved some trace formulas for the eigenvalues of a simple boundary problem generated in a finite interval by the considered Sturm-Liouville equation.

1. Introduction

Consider the differential equation

(1)

where are complex valued functions and is a complex parameter.

Differential equations of type (1) often appear in connection with some spectral problems and nonlinear evolution equations (see [1] [2] [3] ). In the case the equation is the classical Sturm-Liouville equation and in this case there are a wide class of spectral problems and inverse spectral problems which were investigated by constructing integral representations for the independent solutions of the Sturm-Liouville equation (see [4] ). We studied in [5] , the solutions of the Equation (1) satisfying the initial conditions

and it is proved that in the sectors of complex plane

the solutions have the following integral representations:

where, and,

belong to and respectively. Moreover, if denotes Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order (see [6] ) with respect to t, i.e.

then for all the functions and belong to and respectively. Furthermore, the following equalities are valid:

In the present paper we use the above facts about special solutions of the Equation (1) to obtain some trace formulas for the boundary value problem generated by the Equation (1) in the segment with simple boundary conditions

2. Asymptotic Formulas and the Trace Formulas

Using (2), (3) and (4) it is easy to prove the following theorem where we seek two solutions which have special representations.

Now let us connect the Equation (1) to the boundary conditions

Let us consider the circles where is sufficiently large integer. On circles the functions and are

bounded by the constants independent of. So we have that the module of the maximum of the function approaches to zero when. Hence, if are the series of eigenvalues of the problem (1), (18) we have

Using (19) and (20) we compute the integrals on the right hand side of the Equation (21) and prove the following theorem.

From Theorem 2 we have that if the Fourier series are conver-

gent and denoting their sums by we obtain the following regularized trace formulas for the eigenvalues of the boundary value problem (1), (18):
