On the Hochstadt-Lieberman type problem with eigenparameter dependent boundary condition (Q2194642): Difference between revisions

This article is concerned with the Sturm-Liouville problem \[ -y'' + qy = \lambda^2 y \] on the interval \([0,1]\) with eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions of the form \[ y(0)\cos\alpha + y'(0)\sin\alpha = 0, \\ (a\lambda^2+b)y(1) - (c\lambda^2+d)y'(1) = 0, \] where \(q\) is a real-valued square integrable function on \([0,1]\) and \(\alpha\in[0,\pi)\), \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), \(d\in\mathbb{R}\) are constants with \(ad-bc>0\) and \(c\not=0\). It considers the half-inverse problem to find the potential \(q\) and the boundary condition \(\alpha\), when the constants \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), \(d\), the potential \(q\) on the right half of the interval \([0,1]\) and the eigenvalues are given. The authors establish sufficiency of a set of conditions on the data (which are also necessary) for solvability of this half-inverse problem and describe a reconstruction algorithm.
