An inverse problem for the non-selfadjoint matrix Sturm–Liouville equation on the half-line

Abstract

An inverse spectral problem is studied for the non-selfadjoint matrix Sturm–Liouville differential equation on the half-line. We give a formulation of the inverse problem, prove the corresponding uniqueness theorem and provide a constructive procedure for the solution of the inverse problem by the method of spectral mappings. The obtained results are natural generalizations of the classical results in inverse problem theory for scalar Sturm–Liouville operators.
