Partial inverse problems for the Sturm-Liouville operator on a star-shaped graph with mixed boundary conditions (Q682023)

A canonical form Sturm-Liouville equation is considered on a tree with equal length edges, Kirchoff conditions at the common vertex and Dirichlet or Robins boundary conditions at the boundary vertices. It is shown that the spectrum can be decomposed in four disjoint subsets (with distinct asymptotic behaviour). If the potential in the Sturm-Liouville equation is known on all but one edge, it is shown that the potential on this edge can be uniquely recovered from any two of the above noted spectral sets along with possibly (this is not required in all cases) one eigenvalue from one of the other two spectral sets.
