Borg-type theorem for a class of higher-order differential operators

Spectral Theory 2025-05-22 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we study an inverse spectral operator for the higher-order differential equation (1)my(2m)+qy=λy(-1)^my^{(2m)}+ q y = \lambda y, where qL2(0,π)q \in L^2(0,\pi). We prove that if q2\|q\|_2 is sufficiently small, the two spectra corresponding to the both Dirichlet boundary conditions and to the Dirichlet-Neumann ones uniquely determine the potential qq. The result extends the Borg theorem from the second order to all even higher orders.
