In this paper, we consider the inverse resonance problems for the discontinuous and non-selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville problem. We prove the uniqueness theorem and provide a reconstructive algorithm for the potential by using the Cauchy data and Weyl function.

In this paper, we study the Sturm–Liouville problem which has not only the discontinuous coefficient, but also the discontinuity condition at an interior point of a finite interval. The new integral representation for the solution of the discontinuous Sturm–Liouville equation is constructed and the properties of the its kernel function are given. The asymptotic formulas of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of this problem are examined. The completeness theorem and expansion theorem of eigenfunctions are proved.

This book presents the main results and methods on inverse spectral problems for Sturm-Liouville differential operators and their applications. Inverse problems of spectral analysis consist in recovering operators from their spectral characteristics. Such problems often appear in mathematics, mechanics, physics, electronics, geophysics, meteorology and other branches of natural sciences. Inverse problems also play an important role in solving nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics. Interest in this subject has been increasing permanently because of the appearance of new important applications, and nowadays the inverse problem theory develops intensively all over the world. The greatest success in spectral theory in general, and in particular in inverse spectral problems has been achieved for the Sturm-Liouville operator ℓy := −y′′ + q(x)y, (1) which also is called the one-dimensional Schr¨odinger operator. The first studies on the spectral theory of such operators were performed by D. Bernoulli, J. d‘Alembert, L. Euler, J. Liouville and Ch. Sturm in connection with the solution of the equation describing the vibration of a string. An intensive development of the spectral theory for various classes of differential and integral operators and for operators in abstract spaces took place in the XX-th century. Deep ideas here are due to G. Birkhoff, D. Hilbert, J. von Neumann, V. Steklov, M. Stone, H. Weyl and many other mathematicians. The main results on inverse spectral problems appear in the second half of the XX-th century. We mention here the works by R. Beals, G. Borg, L.D. Faddeev, M.G. Gasymov, I.M. Gelfand, B.M. Levitan, I.G. Khachatryan, M.G. Krein, N. Levinson, Z.L. Leibenson, V.A. Marchenko, L.A. Sakhnovich, E. Trubowitz, V.A. Yurko and others (see Section 1.9 for details). An important role in the inverse spectral theory for the Sturm-Liouville operator was played by the transformation operator method. But this method turned out to be unsuitable for many important classes of inverse problems being more complicated than the Sturm-Liouville operator. At present time other effective methods for solving inverse spectral problems have been created. Among them we point out the method of spectral mappings connected with ideas of the contour integral method. This method seems to be perspective for inverse spectral problems. The created methods allowed to solve a number of important problems in various branches of natural sciences. 2 In recent years there appeared new areas for applications of inverse spectral problems. We mention a remarkable method for solving some nonlinear evolution equations of mathematical physics connected with the use of inverse spectral problems. Another important class of inverse problems, which often appear in applications, is the inverse problem of recovering differential equations from incomplete spectral information when only a part of the spectral information is available for measurement. Many applications are connected with inverse problems for differential equations having singularities and turning points, for higher-order differential operators, for differential operators with delay or other types of ”aftereffect”. The main goals of this book are as follows: • To present a fairly elementary and complete introduction to the inverse problem theory for ordinary differential equations which is suitable for the ”first reading” and accessible not only to mathematicians but also to physicists, engineers and students. Note that the book requires knowledge only of classical analysis and the theory of ordinary linear differential equations. • To describe the main ideas and methods in the inverse problem theory using the Sturm- Liouville operator as a model. Up to now many of these ideas, in particular those which appeared in recent years, are presented in journals only. It is very important that the methods, provided in this book, can be used (and have been already used) not only for Sturm-Liouville operators, but also for solving inverse problems for other more complicated classes of operators such as differential operators of arbitrary orders, differential operators with singularities and turning points, pencils of operators, integro-differential and integral operators and others. • To reflect various applications of the inverse spectral problems in natural sciences and engineering. The book is organized as follows. In Chapter 1, Sturm-Liouville operators (1) on a finite interval are considered. In Sections 1.1-1.3 we study properties of spectral characteristics and eigenfunctions, and prove a completeness theorem and an expansion theorem. Sections 1.4- 1.8 are devoted to the inverse problem theory. We prove uniqueness theorems, give algorithms for the solution of the inverse problems considered, provide necessary and sufficient conditions for their solvability, and study stability of the solutions. We present several methods for solving inverse problems. The transformation operator method, in which the inverse problem is reduced to the solution of a linear integral equation, is described in Section 1.5. In Section 1.6 we present the method of spectral mappings, in which ideas of the contour integral method are used. The central role there is played by the so-called main equation of the inverse problem which is a linear equation in a corresponding Banach space. We give a derivation of the main equation, prove its unique solvability and provide explicit formulae for the solution of the inverse problem. At present time the contour integral method seems to be the most universal tool in the inverse problem theory for ordinary differential operators. It has a wide area for applications in various classes of inverse problems. In the method of standard models, which is described in Section 1.7, a sequence of model differential operators approximating the unknown operator are constructed. In Section 1.8 we provide the method for the local solution of the inverse problem from two spectra which is due to G. Borg [Bor1]. In this method, the inverse problem is reduced to a special nonlinear integral equation, which can be solved locally. Chapter 2 is devoted to Sturm-Liouville operators on the half-line. First we consider nonselfadjoint operators with integrable potentials. Using the contour integral method we study the inverse problem of recovering the Sturm-Liouville operator from its Weyl function. Then locally integrable complex-valued potentials are studied, and the inverse problem is solved by specifying the generalized Weyl function. In Chapter 3 Sturm-Liouville operators on the line are considered, and the inverse scattering problem is studied. In Chapter 4 we provide a number of applications of the inverse problem theory in natural sciences and engineering: we consider the solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation on the line and on the half-line, solve the inverse problem of constructing parameters of a medium from incomplete spectral information, and study boundary value problems with aftereffect, inverse problems in elasticity theory and others. There exists an extensive literature devoted to inverse spectral problems. Instead of trying to give a complete list of all relevant contributions, we mention only monographs, survey articles and the most important papers, and refer to the references therein. In Section 1.9 we give a short review on literature on the inverse problem theory.

Partial inverse problems are studied for Sturm-Liouville operators with a discontinuity. The main results of the paper are local solvability and stability of the considered inverse problems. Our approach is based on a constructive algorithm for solving the inverse problems. The key role in our method is played by the Riesz-basis property of a special vector-functional system in a Hilbert space. In addition, we obtain a new uniqueness theorem for recovering the potential on a part of the interval, by using a fractional part of the spectrum.

Boundary value problems for Sturm-Liouville operators with potentials from the class W21W_2^{-1} on a star-shaped graph are considered. We assume that the potentials are known on all the edges of the graph except two, and show that the potentials on the remaining edges can be constructed by fractional parts of two spectra. A uniqueness theorem is proved, and an algorithm for the constructive solution of the partial inverse problem is provided. The main ingredient of the proofs is the Riesz-basis property of specially constructed systems of functions.

For the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation, an analysis is provided to recover the portion of the potential lying to the right (left) of any chosen point. The scattering data used consists of the left (right) Jost solution or its spatial derivative evaluated at that point, or the amplitudes of such functions. Various uniqueness and nonuniqueness results are established, and the recovery is illustrated with some explicit examples.

In this paper, we present a method for solving inverse Sturm–Liouville problems by generalizing a Rundell–Sacks algorithm. The method is extended to deal with a general reference potential which can be adapted, e.g., to estimations of the jump-discontinuity points of the unknown potential. Moreover, its convergence properties are investigated. Numerical examples show that this modification can achieve more precise results from a given data set than the earlier method in using only the null reference potential and, therefore, the L2- and L∞-error can be reduced significantly.

The discussion of the behaviour of theS-matrix is here carried out on the basis of the modern theory of entire analitic functions (1) forS waves and for a spinless particle scattered by a fixed spherical potential. It is shown that many of the properties of Jost’sf (k) functions can be derived quite rigorously and simply, from very general theorems. Among them we point out a theorem on the existence of infinite zeros off(k) when the potential decreases fast enough as to make f(k) regular in the whole plane ofk. The asymptotic behaviour of the distribution of these zeros is also discussed. Le proprietà délia funzione di Jost sono derivate usando noti risultati delia teoria delie funzioni intere.

This paper gives constructive algorithms for the classical inverse Sturm-Liouville problem. It is shown that many of the formulations of this problem are equivalent to solving an overdetermined boundary value problem for a certain hyperbolic operator. Two methods of solving this latter problem are then provided, and numerical examples are presented.

Motivated by the work of Regge (Nuovo Cimento 8 (1958) 671; 9 (1958) 491) we are interested in the problem of recovering a radial potential in from its resonance parameters, which are zeros of the appropriately defined Jost function. For a potential of compact support these may in turn be identified as the complex eigenvalues of a nonselfadjoint Sturm-Liouville problem with an eigenparameter dependent boundary condition. In this paper we propose and study a particular computational technique for this problem, based on a moment problem for a function g(t) which is related to the boundary values of the corresponding Gelfand-Levitan kernel.

A new technique is presented which gives conditions under which perturbations of certain base potentials are uniquely determined from the location of eigenvalues and resonances in the context of a Schrödinger operator on a half line. The method extends to complex-valued potentials and certain potentials whose first moment is not integrable.
