Abstract

If f(x,k)f(x,k) is the Jost solution and f(x)=f(0,k)f(x) = f(0,k), then the II-function is I(k):=f(0,k)f(k)I(k) := \frac{f^\prime(0,k)}{f(k)}. It is proved that I(k)I(k) is in one-to-one correspondence with the scattering triple S:={S(k),kj,sj,1jJ}{\mathcal S} :=\{S(k), k_j, s_j, \quad 1 \leq j \leq J\} and with the spectral function ρ(λ)\rho(\lambda) of the Sturm-Liouville operator l=d2dx2+q(x)l= -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + q(x) on (0,)(0, \infty) with the Dirichlet condition at x=0x=0 and q(x)L1,1:={q:q=qˉ,0(1+x)q(x)dx<}q(x) \in L_{1,1} := \{q: q= \bar q, \int^\infty_0 (1+x) |q(x) dx < \infty\}. Analytical methods are given for finding S\mathcal S from I(k)I(k) and I(k)I(k) from S\mathcal S, and ρ(λ)\rho(\lambda) from I(k)I(k) and I(k)I(k) from ρ(λ)\rho(\lambda). Since the methods for finding q(x)q(x) from S\mathcal S or from ρ(λ)\rho(\lambda) are known, this yields the methods for finding q(x)q(x) from I(k)I(k).
