Linear Operators Generated by a Countable Number of Quasi-differential Expressions

The theory of linear ordinary quasi-differential operators has been considered in Lebesgue locally integrable spaces on a single interval of the real line. Such spaces are not Banach spaces but can be considered as complete, locally convex, linear topological spaces where the topology is derived from a countable family of semi-norms. The first conjugate space can also be defined as a complete, locally convex, linear topological space but now with the topology derived as a strict inductive limit. This article extends the previous single interval results to the case when a finite or countable number of intervals of the real line is considered. Conjugate and preconjugate linear quasi-differential operators are defined and relationships between these operators are developed.
