In the paper we study Sturm-Liouville problems with a boundary condition depending affinely or quadratically on an eigenparameter. The necessary and sufficient conditions for minimality and completeness of the chosen system of root functions of the corresponding operator were given in two forms, one of which can be done by direct computations. This computationally simpler way was known for the affine case and even found some applications in the literature. But, until now, it was not developed for the quadratic case. The aim of the present paper is to fill this gap for the quadratic case and to consider the affine and quadratic cases together in a unified way.
