Inverse scattering theory is extended to one-dimensional Schr\"odinger problems with near-boundary singularities of the form $v(z\to 0)\simeq -z^{-2}/4+v_{-1}z^{-1}$. Trace formulae relating the boundary value $v_0$ of the nonsingular part…
We extend the well-known trace formula for Hill's equation to general one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators. The new function $\xi$, which we introduce, is used to study absolutely continuous spectrum and inverse problems.
We consider semi-infinite Jacobi matrices with discrete spectrum. We prove that the Jacobi operator can be uniquely recovered from one spectrum and subsets of another spectrum and norming constants corresponding to the first spectrum. We…
We present results on the unique reconstruction of a semi-infinite Jacobi operator from the spectra of the operator with two different boundary conditions. This is the discrete analogue of the Borg-Marchenko theorem for Schr{\"o}dinger…

This is a pedagogic introduction to certain aspects of inverse spectral theory for Schr\"{o}dinger operators and Jacobi matrices that revolves around my joint work with Fritz Gesztesy whose $70^{th}$ birthday we are honoring.
We review recent advances in the spectral theory of Schr\"odinger operators with decaying potentials. The area has seen spectacular progress in the past few years, stimulated by several conjectures stated by Barry Simon starting at the 1994…
The recently introduced concept of a spectral shift operator is applied in several instances. Explicit applications include Krein's trace formula for pairs of self-adjoint operators, the Birman-Solomyak spectral averaging formula and its…

We discuss inverse spectral theory for singular differential operators on arbitrary intervals $(a,b) \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ associated with rather general differential expressions of the type \[\tau f = \frac{1}{r} \left(- \big(p[f' + s…
We consider the inverse problem of the reconstruction of a Schr\"odinger operator on a unknown Riemannian manifold or a domain of Euclidean space. The data used is a part of the boundary $\Gamma$ and the eigenvalues corresponding to a set…
Consider the Jacobi operators $\cJ$ given by $(\cJ y)_n=a_ny_{n+1}+b_ny_n+a_{n-1}^*y_{n-1}$, $y_n\in \C^m$ (here $y_0=y_{p+1}=0$), where $b_n=b_n^*$ and $a_n:\det a_n\ne 0$ are the sequences of $m\ts m$ matrices, $n=1,..,p$. We study two…
