Abstract

In this work a Sturm-Liouville operator with piecewise continuous coefficient and spectral parameter in the boundary conditions is considered. The eigenvalue problem is investigated; it is shown that the eigenfunctions form a complete system and an expansion formula with respect to the eigenfunctions is obtained. Uniqueness theorems for the solution of the inverse problem with a Weyl function and spectral data are proved.MSC: 34L10, 34L40, 34A55.

Summary

Introduction

In Section , an expansion formula with respect to the eigenfunctions is obtained and Section contains uniqueness theorems for the solution of the inverse problem with a Weyl function and spectral data. For any eigenvalue λn the solutions ( ), ( ) satisfy the relation ψ(x, λn) = knφ(x, λn) and the normalized numbers of the boundary value problem ( )-( ) are given below: π αn := φ (x, λn)ρ(x) dx + α φ ( , λn) Lemma The eigenvalues of the boundary value problem ( )-( ) are simple, i.e.
