Potentials associated to rational weights (Q4358792)

Let \(H\) denote a differential operator of the form \[ (Hf)(t)=-iJ{df\over dt}(t)-V(t)f(t),\quad t\geq 0, \] where \[ J=\left ( \begin{matrix} I_m&0\\ 0&I_m\end{matrix} \right)\quad \text{and}\quad V(t)=\left( \begin{matrix} 0&k(t)\\ k(t)^\ast&0\end{matrix}\right), \] \(k(t)\) is a \(\mathbb{C}^{m\times m}\)-valued function with entries in \(L_1(0,\infty)\). The authors consider the problem of building the spectral function for the operator \(H\) when the potential is given. The case when the spectral function is rational is studied. An algorithm is proposed which allows one to construct the spectral function from the values of the potential and of a number of its derivatives at the origin. The approach is based on the solution of the partial realization problem for systems. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0870.00030].
