Abstract

Consider the operator H\p=\p+q\p=\l\pH\p=-\p''+q\p=\l\p, \p(0)=0\p(0)=0, \p(1)+b\p(1)=0\p'(1)+b\p(1)=0 acting in L2(0,1)L^2(0,1), where qL2(0,1)q\in L^2(0,1) is a real potential. Let \ln(q,b)\l_n(q,b), n0n\ge 0, be the eigenvalues of HH and \nn(q,b)\n_n(q,b) be the so-called norming constants. We give a complete characterization of all spectral data ({\ln}0\iy;{\nn}0\iy)(\{\l_n\}_0^\iy;\{\n_n\}_0^\iy) that correspond to (q;b)L2(0,1)\tsR(q;b)\in L^2(0,1)\ts\R. If bb is fixed, then we obtain a similar characterization and parameterize the iso-spectral manifolds.
