Acoustic Scattering and the Extended Korteweg deVries hierarchy
The acoustic scattering operator on the real line is mapped to a
Schr\"odinger operator under the Liouville transformation. The potentials in
the image are characterized precisely in terms of their scattering data, and
the inverse transformation is obtained as a simple, linear quadrature. An
existence theorem for the associated Harry Dym flows is proved, using the
scattering method. The scattering problem associated with the Camassa-Holm
flows on the real line is solved explicitly for a special case, which is used
to reduce a general class of such problems to scattering problems on finite
intervals.Comment: 18 page
A survey on stationary problems, Green's functions and spectrum of Sturm–Liouville problem with nonlocal boundary conditions
In this paper, we present a survey of recent results on the Green's functions and on spectrum for stationary problems with nonlocal boundary conditions. Results of Lithuanian mathematicians in the field of differential and numerical problems with nonlocal boundary conditions are described.

Classical and vector sturm—liouville problems: recent advances in singular-point analysis and shooting-type algorithms
AbstractSignificant advances have been made in the last year or two in algorithms and theory for Sturm—Liouville problems (SLPs). For the classical regular or singular SLP −(p(x)u′)′ + q(x)u = λw(x)u, a < x < b, we outline the algorithmic approaches of the recent library codes and what they can now routinely achieve.For a library code, automatic treatment of singular problems is a must. New results are presented which clarify the effect of various numerical methods of handling a singular endpoint.For the vector generalization −(P(x)u′)′+Q(x)u = λW(x)u where now u is a vector function of x, and P, Q, W are matrices, and for the corresponding higher-order vector self-adjoint problem, we outline the equally impressive advances in algorithms and theory
