On spectra of non-self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville operators (Q930381)

The inverse spectral problem is studied for the non-selfadjoint differential operator \[ ly:=-y''+q(x)y \] on a finite interval with a singular potential \(q\in W_2^{-1}\). The description of the spectra is given in terms of the asymptotics of the eigenvalues. Note that inverse spectral problems for non-selfadjoint differential operators were studied also by \textit{S. Buterin} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 335, No. 1, 739--749 (2007; Zbl 1132.34010)], \textit{W. Ning} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 327, No. 2, 1396--1419 (2007; Zbl 1114.34013)], \textit{G. Freiling} and \textit{V. Yurko} [Inverse Sturm-Liouville Problems and their Applications, NOVA Science Publishers, New York (2001; Zbl 1037.34005)] and others.
