Inverse spectral theory for Sturm-Liouville problems with finite spectrum

For any positive integer and any given distinct real numbers we construct a Sturm-Liouville problem whose spectrum is precisely the given set of numbers. Such problems are of Atkinson type in the sense that the weight function or the reciprocal of the leading coefficient is identically zero on at least one subinterval.

     

On recovering differential systems on a finite interval from spectra

Inverse spectral problems are studied for non-self-adjoint systems of ordinary differential equations on a finite interval. We establish properties of spectral characteristics and provide a procedure for constructing the solution of the inverse problem of recovering the coefficients of differential systems from given spectra.

Inverse spectral problems for differential pencils with boundary conditions dependent on the spectral parameter

In this paper, we discuss two inverse problems for differential pencils with boundary conditions dependent on the spectral parameter. We will prove the Hochstadt–Lieberman type theorem of 1 – 3 except for arbitrary one eigenvalue and the Borg type theorem of 1 – 3 except for at most arbitrary two eigenvalues, respectively. The new results are generalizations of the related results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On inverse spectral problem for non-selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville operator on a finite interval

An inverse spectral problem is studied for a non-selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville operator on a finite interval with an arbitrary behavior of the spectrum. The spectral data introduced generalize the classical discrete spectral data corresponding to the specification of the spectral function in the selfadjoint case. The connection with other types of spectral characteristics is investigated and a uniqueness theorem is proved. A constructive procedure for solving the inverse problem is given.     

A method for solving nonlinear spectral problems for a class of systems of differential algebraic equations

A method for calculating eigenvalues of a nonlinear spectral problem for one class of linear differential algebraic equations is proposed under the assumption of an analytical dependence on spectral parameter of the matrices appearing in the system of equations and the matrices determining boundary conditions.     

Inverse problems for stationary Navier-Stokes systems

An inverse problem for a nonlinear equation in a Hilbert space is considered in which the right-hand side that is a linear combination of given functionals is found from given values of these functionals on the solution. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution are established, and the solution set is shown to be homeomorphic to a finite-dimensional compact set. A boundary inverse problem for the three-dimensional thermal convection equations for a viscous incompressible fluid and an inverse magnetohydrodynamics problem are considered as applications.

Inverse spectral theory of finite Jacobi matrices

We solve the following physically motivated problem: to determine all finite Jacobi matrices and corresponding indices such that the Green's function

is proportional to an arbitrary prescribed function . Our approach is via probability distributions and orthogonal polynomials.

We introduce what we call the auxiliary polynomial of a solution in order to factor the map

(where square brackets denote the equivalence class consisting of scalar multiples). This enables us to construct the solution set as a fibration over a connected, semi-algebraic coordinate base. The end result is a wealth of explicit constructions for Jacobi matrices. These reveal precise geometric information about the solution set, and provide the basis for new existence theorems.

     

Inverse spectral problems for the Sturm-Liouville operator on a d-star graph

In this work, we consider inverse spectral problems for the Sturm-Liouville differential operator on a d-star-type graph with standard matching conditions in the internal vertex, where the integer d?2. By using the Yurko's method (Yurko (2008) [27], Yurko (2009) [28]) we show that

(1)

if the potential function qj(x) on a fixed edge ej is prescribed on the interval , then the reciprocal of d of the spectrum suffices to determine qj(x) on the whole interval [0,π];

(2)

the 2 over d of the spectrum suffices to determine qj(x) on a fixed edge ej.

     

Inverse spectral problem for differential operator pencils on noncompact spatial networks

We study boundary value problems on noncompact cycle-free graphs (i.e., trees) for second-order ordinary differential equations with a nonlinear dependence on the spectral parameter. We establish properties of the spectrum and analyze the inverse problem of reconstructing the coefficients of a differential equation on the basis of the so-called Weyl functions. For this inverse problem, we prove a uniqueness theorem and obtain a procedure for constructing the solution by the method of spectral mapping.
