Abstract
In this paper, we consider the question on study of zeros of an entire function of one class, which coincides with quasi-polynomials of exponential type. Eigenvalue problems for some classes of differential operators on a segment are reduced to a similar problem. In particular, the studied problem is led by the eigenvalue problem for a linear differential equation of the third order with regular boundary value conditions in the space W^3_2(0, 1). The studied entire function is adequately characteristic determinant of the spectral problem for a third-order linear differential operator with periodic boundary value conditions. An algorithm to construct a conjugate indicator diagram of an entire function of one class is indicated, which coincides with exponential type quasi-polynomials with comparable exponents according to the monograph by A.F. Leontyev. Existence of a countable number of zeros of the studied entire function in each series is proved, which are simultaneously eigenvalues of the above-mentioned third-order differential operator with regular boundary value conditions. We determine distance between adjacent zeros of each series, which lies on the rays perpendicular to sides of the conjugate indicator diagram, that is a regular hexagon on the complex plane. In this case, zero is not an eigenvalue of the considered operator, that is, zero is a regular point of the operator. Fundamental difference of this work is finding the corresponding eigenfunctions of the operator. System of eigenfunctions of the operator corresponding in each series is found. Adjoint operator is constructed.
