Solution of a discontinuous inverse nodal problem on a finite interval (Q2476701): Difference between revisions

The inverse nodal problem is studied for the boundary value problem: \[ -y''+(q(x)+l(l+1)x^{-2})y=\lambda y,\; x\in[1,a],\tag{B} \] \(y'(1)=y'(a)+Hy(a)=0,\) where \(a>1,\, l\geq 0,\,q\in L(1,a)\). The potential \(p(x):=q(x)+l(l+1)x^{-2}\) is integrable on \([1,a]\), i.e. (B) is a classical Sturm-Liouville problem. The term \(l(l+1)x^{-2}\) has no singularities, and it does not make sense to write it separately. The inverse nodal problem for the classical Sturm-Liouville operator has been solved fairly completely (see, for example, [\textit{X.-F. Yang}, Inverse Probl. 13, No.~1, 203--213 (1997; Zbl 0873.34017)] and the references therein); hence, there are no new results in the present paper.
