Titchmarsh-Weyl M-function asymptotics and some results in the inverse spectral theory for vector-valued Sturm-Liouville equations and a certain higher order ordinary differential equation

Andersson, Erik LU (2002)
Abstract
This discourse is constituted by two separate reprots, where the first one offers an elementary deduction of the leading order term asymptotics for the Titchmarsh-Weyl M-function corresponding to a vector-valued Sturm-Liouville equation of the form -(PU')'+QU=zu, xin[0,b), with P^{-1},W,Q being hermitean with locally integrable entries; and under some additional conditions on P^{-1} and W. In the special case of P=W=I, we give some further asymptotic results for the same M-function. In this case, we also prove that the corresponding spectral measure determines the equation uniquely up to conjugation by a constant and unitary matrix R, and we finish this presentation by giving a local form of the Borg-Marchenko theorem in the above case...

In the special case of P=W=I, we give some further asymptotic results for the same M-function. In this case, we also prove that the corresponding spectral measure determines the equation uniquely up to conjugation by a constant and unitary matrix R, and we finish this presentation by giving a local form of the Borg-Marchenko theorem in the above case (cf. [GS2, Chapter 3.]); a theorem which is due to Simon, [S], in the scalar case. The object of the second report is to study a higher order ordinary differential equation of the form sum_{j,k=0}^{m}D^{j}a_{jk}D^{k}=zu, xin[0,b), where D=id/dx, and where the coefficients a_{jk}, j,kin[0,m], with a_{mm}=1, satisfy certain regularity conditions and are chosen so that the matrix (a_{jk}) is hermitean. We will also assume that m>1. More precisely, we will prove, using Paley-Wiener methods, that the corresponding spectral measure determines the equation up to conjugation by a function of modulus 1. We will also discuss under which additional conditions the spectral measure uniquely determines the coefficients a_{jk}, j,kin[0,m], j+k<2m, as well as b and the boundary conditions at 0 and (if any) at b.

Vi kommer också att, i specialfallet av att P=W=I, formulera och bevisa några satser av Borg-Marchenko typ för den i detta fall aktuella ekvationen. Den andra ingående rapporten behandlar en högre ordningens ordinär differential ekvation på formen sum_{j,k=0}^{m}D^{j}a_{jk}D^{k}u=zu, xin[0,b), där D=id/dx, och där koefficien- terna a{jk}, j,kin[0,m], med a_{mm}=1, satisfierar vissa regularitetsvillkor och väljes så att matrisen (a_{jk}) blir hermitesk. Vi antar också att m>1. Medelst bruk av Paley-Wiener metoder kommer vi då att bevisa att motsvarande spektralmått bestämmer ekvationen entydigt upp till konjugering med en funktion av absolutbelopp 1. Vi kommer också att diskutera under vilka tilläggsvillkor som spektralmåttet entydigt bestämmer koefficenterna a_{jk}, j,kin[0,m], j+k<2m, såväl som b och randvillkoren i 0 och även ev. randvillkor i b.
