Streszczenie
This paper is devoted to the solvability of the Lyapunov equation $A^*U+UA=I$, where $A$ is a given nonselfadjoint differential operator of order $2m$ with nonlocal boundary conditions, $A^*$ is its adjoint, $I$ is the identity operator and $U$ is the selfadjoint operator to be found. We assume that the spectra of $A^*$ and $-A$ are disjoint. Under this restriction we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Lyapunov equation in the class of bounded operators.
