A uniqueness theorem in the inverse spectral theory of a certain higher-order ordinary differential equation using Paley-Wiener methods
(2005) In Journal of the London Mathematical Society 72(1). p.169-184- Abstract
- The paper examines a higher-order ordinary differential equation of the form P[u]:= Sigma(j,k=0)(m) D(j)a(jk)D(k)u = gimel u, x is an element of [0, b), where D=i(d/dx), and where the coefficients a(jk), j, k is an element of [0,M], with a = 1, satisfy certain regularity conditions and are chosen so that the matrix (a(jk)) is hermitean. It is also assumed that m > 1. More precisely, it is proved, using Paley-Wiener methods, that the corresponding spectral measure determines the equation up to conjugation by a function of modulus 1. The paper also discusses under which additional conditions the spectral measure uniquely determines the coefficients a(jk), j, k E [0, m], J + k not equal 2m, as well as b and the boundary conditions at 0 and...
