Periodic Jacobi operator with finitely supported perturbations: the inverse resonance problem (Q656189)

The main object under consideration in the present paper is a \(q\)-periodic double infinite Jacobi matrix \(J_0\) perturbed by a finitely supported Jacobi matrix \(V=\{u_n,v_n\}\), \(n=0,1,\dots,p\), which can be parameterized by the vector \((u,v)\in \mathbb{R}^{2p}\). The main result (Theorem 1.2) concerns the mapping from \((u,v)\) to the scattering data \((\hat w,f_0^+)\) related to \(J=J_0+V\). The authors show that this mapping is one-one and onto. Moreover, the authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for the pair \((w,f)\) to be the Jost function and \(\hat w\) for some perturbation \((u,v)\). An algorithm of reconstructing \((u,v)\) from the scattering data is suggested. The authors also prove that the scattering data is uniquely determined by the bound states and resonances of \(J\) along with zero sets of certain related functions.
