Abstract: The long-standing problem of constructing a potential from mixed scattering data is discussed. We first consider the fixed-

e l l

inverse scattering problem. We show that the zeros of the regular solution of the Schr"odinger equation,

r_{n} (E)

which are monotonic functions of the energy, determine a unique potential when the domain of energy is such that the

r_{n} (E)

's range from zero to infinity. The latter method is applied to the domain

E g e q E_{0}, e l l = e l l_{0} c u p E = E_{0}, e l l g e q e l l_{0}

for which the zeros of the regular solution are monotonic in both parts of the domain and still range from zero to infinity. Our analysis suggests that a unique potential can be obtained from the mixed scattering data

d e l t a (e l l_{0}, k), k g e q k_{0} c u p d e l t a (e l l, k_{0}), e l l g e q e l l_{0}

provided that certain integrability conditions required for the fixed

e l l

-problem, are fulfilled. The uniqueness is demonstrated using the JWKB approximation.
