    For the Schrödinger equation in one dimension an explicit formula for the reconstruction of the potential from the class \[ W^{n,1} (\mathbb{R})= \left\{f(x):\;{d^m \over dx^m} f(x) \in L^1(\mathbb{R}), \quad m=0,1, \dots, n\right\} \] is given through its reflection coefficient upto a function from the class \(W^{n+1,1} (\mathbb{R})\). The necessary and sufficient conditions for the reflection coefficient of the potential from the class \(L^1(\mathbb{R})\) in order that this potential belongs to the class \(W^{n,1}\) are given. It is shown that the scattering matrix of the exponentially decreasing potential from the class \(W{n,1} (\mathbb{R})\) does not determine in general the potential upto a function from the class \(C^{n+\varepsilon} (\mathbb{R})\), \(\varepsilon >0\).
