Reconstruction of the solution of inverse Sturm-Liouville problem (Q6571687)

The authors are concerned with the half-inverse problem associated with \N\[\N-u^{\prime \prime} +q(x)u=\lambda^2 u \text{ for } x\in [0,1]\N\] \Nwith boundary conditions \N\[\Nu'(0)-h_1u(0)=0 \text{ and } u'(1)-h_2u(1)=0.\N\] \NHere it is assumed that \(q\in L^2(0,1)\) and \(h_i\in\mathbb{R}\). The objective is to reconstruct \(q\) on \([1/2,1]\) with \(h_2\), as it is already known on \([0,1/2]\). To do so they use the Mittag-Leffler expansion of a meromorphic function to derive necessary conditions in implicit form for the solvability of the half-inverse problem. Then by using the boundary functions \(u_+(1/2,\lambda)\) and \(u'_+(1/2,\lambda)\), they use the Gelfand-Levitan theory to obtain \(q\) on \([1/2, 1]\).
