“…(i) The Riesz basis property for 2 × 2 Dirac operators L U 1 ,U 2 has been investigated in numerous papers (see [41,8,6,9,11,12,18,24,27,39] and references therein). The most complete result was recently obtained independently and by different methods in [24,27] and [39]. Namely, assuming that B = B * and Q(·) ∈ L 1 ([0, 1]; C 2×2 ) it is proved in [24,27] (the general case of b 1 b 2 < 0) and [39] (the Dirac case, b 1 = −b 2 ) that the system of root vectors of equation (1.3) subject to regular boundary conditions constitutes a Riesz basis with parentheses in L 2 ([0, 1]; C 2 ) and ordinary Riesz basis provided that BC are strictly regular.…”
