This paper is devoted to the solvability of the Lyapunov equation A*U + UA = I, where A is a given nonselfadjoint differential operator of order 2m with nonlocal boundary conditions, A* is its adjoint, I is the identity operator and U is the selfadjoint operator to be found. We assume that the spectra of A* and -A are disjoint. Under this restriction we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Lyapunov equation in the class of bounded operators.
