1. Introduction
The spectral theory of operators finds numerous uses in various fields of mathematics and their applications.
An important part of the spectral theory of differential operators is the distribution of their eigenvalues. This classical question was studied for a second-order operator on a finite interval by Liouville and Sturm. Later, G.D. Birkhoff [1,2,3] studied the distribution of eigenvalues for an ordinary differential operator of arbitrary order on a finite interval with regular boundary conditions.
For quantum mechanics, it is especially interesting to distribute the eigenvalues of operators defined throughout the space and having a discrete spectrum. E.C. Titchmarsh [4,5,6,7,8,9] was the first to rigorously establish the formula for the distribution of the number of eigenvalues for a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville operator on the whole axis with potential growing at infinity. He also first strictly established the distribution formula for the Schrödinger operator. B.M. Levitan [10,11,12] deserves much credit for the improvement of E.C. Titchmarsh’s method.
In solving many mathematical physics problems, the need arises for the expansion of an arbitrary function in a Fourier series with respect to Sturm-Liouville eigenvalues. The so-called regular case of the Sturm-Liouville problem corresponding to a finite interval and a continuous coefficient of the equation has been studied for a relatively long time and is usually described in detail in the manuals on the equations of mathematical physics and integral equations.
The Sturm-Liouville problem for the so-called singular case, as well as with nonlocal boundary conditions, is much less known.
As it is known, so-called fractal media are studied in solid-state physics and, in particular, diffusion phenomena in them. In one of the models studied in [13], diffusion in a strongly porous (fractal) medium is described by an equation of the type of heat-conduction equation, but with a fractional derivative with respect to time coordinate
The formulation of initial-boundary value problems for Equation (1), similar to the problems for parabolic differential equations, makes sense if by a regularized fractional derivative:
Study of the form equations
where A is an elliptic operator (in [14,15,16]). In recent years, many authors studied fractional differential equations in [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34].
2. Problem Formulation
In this work, we consider the equation of the form

and boundary conditions
where , , and are functions that can be expanded in terms of the system of eigenfunctions of the spectral problem:
Here, for , fractional integral has the form
for and for the fractional derivative has the form
In [17], Problems (4)–(6) and, accordingly, spectral Problems (7) and (8) in the case , were considered.
3. Preliminaries
More detailed information for this section can be found in [17]. We look for eigenfunctions of spectral Problems (7) and (8) in the form of the product . Then, we obtain, instead of spectral Problems (7) and (8), the following spectral problem:
In the case of i.e., with boundary conditions or spectral Problems (7) and (8) were investigated by many authors (see, for example, [35,36,37,38,39,40,41]). In order to simplify calculations, we confined ourselves to the case of It is not difficult to see that is not an eigenvalue of Problems (9) and (10). In fact, if is the eigenvalue, then We obtained from here i.e., Similarly, for , Problems (9) and (10) have no nontrivial solutions.
For the general solution of Problem (9) has the form
From boundary conditions, we have:
i.e.,
Hence, the nontrivial solutions of Problems (9) and (10) are only possible in the case of
Furthermore,

of spectral Problems (9) and (10) form the complete orthonormal system in Sobolev classes
Proof.
Symmetry of operator L implies that eigenfunctions of operator L, corresponding to the different eigenvalues, are orthogonal in classes
System of functions is also the system of eigenfunctions of a similar operator corresponding to different eigenvalues, which implies that functions of system are orthogonal in classes
As a result, we see that system of eigenfunctions of operator L, corresponding to different eigenvalues, are orthogonal in the Sobolev classes It is known that, if a sequence of vectors forms the Riesz basis in a Hilbert space then system of vectors
also forms the Riesz basis in H (see p. 374, [42]).
By virtue of Lemma 4, system of eigenvectors forms the Riesz basis in space The orthogonality of this system implies that is a complete orthonormal system in the Sobolev classes □
Theorem 1 and the Sobolev embedding theorem imply the following corollaries.

The scalar product in space is introduced in the following way:
Respectively, the norm in this space is introduced as follows:
Lemma 6.
If and are complete orthonormal systems in and , respectively, then the system of all products

Proof.
By virtue of the Fubini theorem,
If or by the same theorem
since scalar product of two variables exist on . Let us prove the completeness of system Assume that there exists a function in that is orthogonal to all functions Set
It is easy to see, that function belongs to class That’s why for any m again applying the Fubini theorem, we obtain
By completeness of system for almost all y
But then, for almost every , equalities
hold for all Completeness of system implies that, for almost all y, the set of those for which

of spectral Problems (4) and (5):
By virtue of Problems (4) and (5), unknown functions must satisfy equation
with initial conditions
The solution of Cauchy Problems (13) and (14) has the form
where coefficients are determined as follows:
After substituting Problem (15) into Problem (12), we obtain the unique solution of Problems (4)–(6) in the form of Series (8).
Let . Consider mixed Problems (4)–(6). If we look for a solution to Problems (4)–(6) in the form of Fourier series expansion

5. Conclusions
In this paper, we considered questions on the unique solvability of a mixed problem for a partial differential equation of high order with fractional Riemann-Liouville derivatives with respect to time, and with Laplace operators with spatial variables and with nonlocal boundary conditions in Sobolev classes. The solution was found in the form of a series of expansions in eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator with nonlocal boundary conditions. Initial and boundary problems with fractional Riemann-Liouville derivatives with respect to time have many applications [13]. In connection to this, we chose the fractional Riemann-Liouville derivative, although we could consider other types of fractional derivatives.
