Inverse nodal problems for perturbed spherical Schrödinger operators (Q6046957)

The authors examine the inverse nodal problem of identifying \(q\in L^{2}(0,1)\), associated with the singular Sturm-Liouville problem \[ L(\ell,q):=\left(-\dfrac{d^2}{dx^{2}}+\dfrac{\ell(\ell+1)}{x^{2}}+q(x)\right) \text{ for } 0<x<1, \ell\in\mathbb{N}, \] and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Denote by \(x^{k}_{n}\) the zeros of the \(n^{th}\) eigenfunctions, i.e. \(y_{n}(x^{k}_{n})=0\) for \( k=1,...,n-1\). It is shown that \(q(x)+\int_{0}^{1}q(x)dx\) is uniquely determined in \(L^{2}(0,1)\) from a dense set of \(x^{k}_{n}\) that fall in \((a, 1)\) as along as one add the corresponding values of \(y'_{n}(x^{k}_{n})\).
