The inverse approach to Dirac-type systems based on the \(A\)-function concept (Q2186615)

Following [\textit{B. Simon}, Ann. Math. 105 (1999), 1029--1057 (1999; Zbl 0945.34013)], the authors develop the \(\mathcal A\)-function approach to the inverse spectral problem for the general matrix-valued Dirac-type system \[ y'(x,z) = i (zJ + JV(x)) y(x, z), \quad x > 0, \] where \(y(x, z)\) is a \((m \times 1)\)-vector function, \[ J = \begin{bmatrix} I_{m_1} & 0_{m_1 \times m_2} \\ 0_{m_2 \times m_1} & -I_{m_2}, \end{bmatrix} \quad V = \begin{bmatrix} 0_{m_1} & v \\ v^* & 0_{m_2}, \end{bmatrix} \quad v \in [C^1[0, \infty)]^{m_1 \times m_2}. \] The \(\mathcal A\)-equation corresponding to this system is derived in \(z\)-independent form, and the solvability of this equation is proved.
