The spectral data of a vibrating string are encoded in its so-called characteristic function. We consider the problem of recovering the distribution of mass along the string from its characteristic function. It is well-known that Stieltjes'…

We use an inverse scattering approach to study multi-peakon solutions of the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation, an integrable PDE similar to the Camassa-Holm shallow water equation. The spectral problem associated to the DP equation is…
We consider the problem of boundary control for a vibrating string with $N$ interior point masses. We assume the control is at the left end, and the string is fixed at the right end. Singularities in waves are "smoothed" out to one order as…

This paper revisits the classical problem "Can we hear the density of a string?", which can be formulated as an inverse spectral problem for a Sturm-Liouville operator. Based on inverting a sequence of trace formulas, we propose a new…
Problem for a cubic string having the shape of a step is studied. It is proved that here we have two scattering problems: the direct one and its dual. The direct problem describes scattering of the waves coming from ``$+\infty$'', and its…
