As is known, for each fixed $\nu\in\{0,1\},$ the spectra of two operators generated by $-y''(x)+q(x)y(x-a)$ and the boundary conditions $y^{(\nu)}(0)=y^{(j)}(\pi)=0,$ $j=0,1,$ uniquely determine the complex-valued square-integrable…

We are concerned with the Sturm-Liouville problem on the half line. We show that when the potential $q$ is subject only to power decay at infinity the $L^2$ solution may be continued into a sector of the so-called un-physical sheet. This…
The spectrum of the singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operator $$A=\text{\rm sgn}(\cdot)\bigl(-\tfrac{d^2}{dx^2}+q\bigr)$$ with a real potential $q\in L^1(\mathbb R)$ covers the whole real line and, in addition, non-real eigenvalues may…
Sturm-Liouville spectral problem for equation $-(y'/r)'+qy=\lambda py$ with generalized functions $r\ge 0$, $q$ and $p$ is considered. It is shown that the problem may be reduced to analogous problem with $r\equiv 1$. The case of $q=0$ and…
It is well known that a potential $q$ of the Sturm-Liouville operator $Ly= -y" +q(x)y$ on the finite interval $[0, \pi]$ can be uniquely recovered by the spectrum $\{\lambda_k\}_1^\infty$ and norming constants $\{\alpha_k\}_1^\infty$ of…
