1. INTRODUCTION

We consider a second order differential system of the form ““+pl(z)u’+pz(z)U { eiu(U) + biu’(U) +

on the interval [u, b], where the functions p; are continuous (but not necessary real) and the boundary conditions are linearly independent. When the boundary conditions are separated, i.e., cl = di = 0 and a2 = bz = 0, it is well-known that the differential operator associated to the system is the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup of operators in a variety of spaces. The aim of this work is to extend this result to the case of non-separated boundary conditions. Such boundary conditions were studied by Birkhoff [l], who considered also differential operators of order higher than two (see also the book of Naimark [3]). His main purpose was to localize the spectrum. In doing this, he distinguished a generic class of boundary conditions that he called “regular”, for which he was able to obtain good spectral properties. Here we will show that second-order differential operators with such regular boundary conditions satisfy also the resolvent estimates necessary to guarantee the generation of analytic semigroups. This result will be obtained in the spaces LP(a, b), for all p in the interval l
