An inverse problem for operators of a triangular structure (Q2563748)

The author presents an algorithm for the solution of an inverse problem for operators of triangular form in an abstract space by its Weyl function. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem are obtained, and the uniqueness of the solution is proved. The results are applied to the two most important cases of triangular structure, namely, difference operators of the form \((Ly)_\nu = \sum^p_{j=-q} a_{\nu j} y_{\nu +j}\), where \(p,q \geq 1\), \(y= [y_\nu]_{\nu \geq 0}\), and \(a_{\nu j}\) are arbitrary complex numbers, and differential operators of the form \({\mathcal L} y= y^{(n)} + \sum^{n-2}_{\nu = 0} p_\nu (x)y^{(\nu)}\), on the half-line or the finite interval \((0,T)\). The problem consists in determining \(L\) and \({\mathcal L}\) from their Weyl matrix and Weyl function, respectively.
