Inverse problem for a differential operator on a star-shaped graph with nonlocal matching condition

Abstract

In this paper, we develop two approaches to investigation of inverse spectral problems for a new class of nonlocal operators on metric graphs. The Laplace differential operator is considered on a star-shaped graph with nonlocal integral matching condition. This operator is adjoint to the functional-differential operator with frozen argument at the central vertex of the graph. We study the inverse problem that consists in the recovery of the integral condition coefficients from the eigenvalues. We obtain the spectrum characterization, reconstruction algorithms, and prove the uniqueness of the inverse problem solution.
