Local solvability and stability for the inverse Sturm‐Liouville problem with polynomials in the boundary conditions

Abstract

In this paper, we for the first time prove local solvability and stability of the inverse Sturm‐Liouville problem with complex‐valued singular potential and with polynomials of the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions. The proof method is constructive. It is based on the reduction of the inverse problem to a linear equation in the Banach space of bounded infinite sequences. We prove that, under a small perturbation of the spectral data, the main equation of the inverse problem remains uniquely solvable. Furthermore, we derive new reconstruction formulas for obtaining the problem coefficients from the solution of the main equation and get stability estimates for the recovered coefficients.
