Abstract: We study inverse spectral problems for ordinary differential equations with regular singularities on compact star-type graphs when differential equations have different orders on diferent edges. As the main spectral characteristics we introduce and study the so-called Weyl-type matrices which are generalizations of the Weyl function for the classical Sturm-Liouville operator. We provide a procedure for constructing the solution of the inverse problem and prove its uniqueness.


The author considers ordinary differential equations with regular singularities on compact star-type graphs. In particular, on different edges of the graph the differential equations may have different orders. Using the method of spectral mappings the inverse problem below is solved: Given the Weyl-type matrices (a generalization of the \(m\)-function in the classical Sturm-Liouville setting) the potential on the graph may be uniquely reconstructed. In essence the procedure used is the following: (1) Let all (except for one) of the Weyl-type matrices be given. From these all (except for one) of the potentials can be constructed. (2) From the newly constructed potentials (on all except for one edge) the missing Weyl-type matrix can be constructed. (3) Consequently, the missing potential may also be uniquely constructed thus completing the inverse problem.
