The paper is centred on Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems \[ [P(x)u']'+ [\lambda- k(x)]u= 0,\quad 0<x<1,\quad u(0)= u(1)= 0, \] with real functions \(P(x)\) and \(k(x)\) guaranteeing the discreteness of the spectrum and the positiveness of the eigenvalues \(\lambda\). The variational problem to be solved is to find \(k(x)\) under the isoperimetric constraint \(\int^t_0 k^2(x)dx= r^2\), \(r=\text{const}\), so that the least eigenvalue \(\lambda_0\), as a functional of \(k(x)\), in the Sturm-Liouville problem be conditionally extremal with respect to \(k(x)\). The author establishes a necessary condition for \(\lambda_0\) to be a conditional extremum with respect to \(k(x)\). Moreover, he defines some specific cases of the considered boundary value problems, where the above condition is sufficient as well.
