Uniqueness theorems for differential pencils with eigenparameter boundary conditions and transmission conditions

Abstract

Inverse spectral problems are considered for differential pencils with boundary conditions depending polynomially on the spectral parameter and with a finite number of transmission conditions. We give formulations of the associated inverse problems such as Titchmarsh–Weyl theorem, Hochstadt–Lieberman theorem and Mochizuki–Trooshin theorem, and prove corresponding uniqueness theorems. The obtained results are generalizations of the similar results for the classical Sturm–Liouville operator on a finite interval.
