Inverse Spectral Theory for Sturm-Liouville Operators with
Distributional Coefficients
   [PDF]

Jonathan Eckhardt, Fritz Gesztesy, Roger Nichols, Gerald Teschl
We discuss inverse spectral theory for singular differential operators on arbitrary intervals $(a,b) \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ associated with rather general differential expressions of the type [\tau f = \frac{1}{r} (- \big(p[f' + s f]\big)' + s p[f' + s f] + qf),] where the coefficients $p$, $q$, $r$, $s$ are Lebesgue measurable on $(a,b)$ with $p^{-1}$, $q$, $r$, $s \in L^1_{\text{loc}}((a,b); dx)$ and real-valued with $p\not=0$ and $r>0$ almost everywhere on $(a,b)$. In particular, we explicitly permit certain distributional potential coefficients. The inverse spectral theory results derived in this paper include those implied by the spectral measure, by two-spectra and three-spectra, as well as local Borg--Marchenko-type inverse spectral results. The special cases of Schr\"odinger operators with distributional potentials and Sturm--Liouville operators in impedance form are isolated, in particular.
