Reconstructing Jacobi Matrices from Three Spectra
Cut a Jacobi matrix into two pieces by removing the n-th column and n-th row.
We give neccessary and sufficient conditions for the spectra of the original
matrix plus the spectra of the two submatrices to uniqely determine the
original matrix. Our result contains Hostadt's original result as a special
case
Structured matrices, continued fractions, and root localization of polynomials
We give a detailed account of various connections between several classes of
objects: Hankel, Hurwitz, Toeplitz, Vandermonde and other structured matrices,
Stietjes and Jacobi-type continued fractions, Cauchy indices, moment problems,
total positivity, and root localization of univariate polynomials. Along with a
survey of many classical facts, we provide a number of new results.Comment: 79 pages; new material added to the Introductio
Inverse spectral problems for Sturm-Liouville operators with singular potentials
The inverse spectral problem is solved for the class of Sturm-Liouville
operators with singular real-valued potentials from the space .
The potential is recovered via the eigenvalues and the corresponding norming
constants. The reconstruction algorithm is presented and its stability proved.
Also, the set of all possible spectral data is explicitly described and the
isospectral sets are characterized.Comment: Submitted to Inverse Problem
On small vibrations of a damped Stieltjes string
Inverse problem of recovering masses, coefficients of damping and lengths of the intervals between the masses using two spectra of boundary value problems and the total length of the Stieltjes string (an elastic thread bearing point masses) is considered. For the case of point-wise damping at the first counting from the right end mass the problem of recovering the masses, the damping coefficient and the lengths of the subintervals by one spectrum and the total length of the string is solved
