An inverse problem for the Sturm-Liouville operator with nonseparable self-adjoint boundary conditions (Q804777)

The authors study the solution of a Sturm-Liouville problem with non- separated but selfadjoint boundary conditions. They report necessary and sufficient conditions which have to be satisfied by two sequences of real numbers such that they are spectra of two nonsimilar boundary value problems of the type mentioned. Next they determine the spectral characteristics which are necessary to recover (together with the spectrum) the boundary value problems and report the method to do this.
