Abstract

This paper deals with the inverse spectral problem for a non-self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville operator with discontinuous conditions inside the interval. We obtain that if the potential qq is known a priori on a subinterval [b,π] \left[ b,\pi \right] with b(d,π]b\in \left( d,\pi \right] or b=db=d, then h,h, β,\beta , γ \gamma \ and qq on [0,π] \left[ 0,\pi \right] \ can be uniquely determined by partial spectral data consisting of a sequence of eigenvalues and a subsequence of the corresponding generalized normalizing constants or a subsequence of the pairs of eigenvalues and the corresponding generalized ratios. For the case b(0,d),b\in \left( 0,d\right) , a similar statement holds if β, \beta , γ \gamma \ are also known a priori. Moreover, if qq satisfies a local smoothness condition, we provide an alternative approach instead of using the high-energy asymptotic expansion of the Weyl mm-function to solve the problem of missing eigenvalues and norming constants.
