Abstract: The matrix Sturm-Liouville operator on a finite interval with the boundary conditions in the general self-adjoint form and with the singular potential from the class W2−1 is studied. This operator generalizes Sturm-Liouville operators on geometrical graphs. We investigate structural and asymptotical properties of the spectral data (eigenvalues and weight matrices) of this operator. Furthermore, we prove the uniqueness of recovering the operator from its spectral data, by using the method of spectral mappings.


The author deals with direct and inverse problems for the matrix Sturm-Liouville equation \[ -Y+Q(x)Y =\lambda Y, x\in(0,\pi) \] together with boundary conditions \[ T_1(Y^{[1]}(0)-H_1 Y (0)) -T_1^{\bot}Y (0) = 0, \] \[ T_2(Y^{[1]}(\pi)- H_2 Y (\pi)) - T_2^{\bot}Y(\pi) = 0. \] Here \(Y = [y_{j }(x)]^{m}_{j =1}\) is a vector function; \(\lambda\) is the spectral parameter; \(Q(x)\) is an \((m\times m)\) Hermitian matrix function with elements of class \(W_2^{-1}(0,\pi)\); \(T_j,T_j^\bot,H_j\in \mathbb{C}^{m\times m},T_j\) are orthogonal projection matrices, that is, \(T_j =T_j^\dagger =T_j^2,T_j^\bot =I-T_j\); \(I\) is the unit matrix in \(\mathbb{C}^{m\times m}\); \(H_j = H_j^\dagger = T_j H_j T_j, j = 1,2.\) Let us denote this operator by \(L\). The authors investigate properties of the eigenvalues and weight matrices of the problem \(L\) and study the inverse problem that consists in recovering the potential and the boundary condition coefficients of the problem \(L\) from the eigenvalues and weight matrices.
