This extended abstract is a summary of the main results in [4]. We consider a stability result for the inverse problem associated with the Sturm-Liouville equation −y′′ + q0(x)y = λy, x ∈ (0, 1), in which the potential q0 ∈ L(0, 1) is allowed to be complex-valued and the spectral data consists of the firstN Dirichlet-Dirichlet eigenvalues and the firstN Dirichlet-Neumann eigenvalues, determined...

The inverse nodal problem was initiated by McLaughlin [1], who proved that the Sturm-Liouville problem is uniquely determined by any dense subset of the nodal points. Some numerical schemes were given by Hald and McLaughlin [2] for the reconstruction of the potential. Recently Law, Yang and other authors have reconstructed the potential function and its derivatives of the Sturm-Liouville proble...

This paper presents a method of numerically computing zeros of an analytic function for the specific application of computing eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville problem. The Sturm-Liouville problem is an infinite dimensional eigenvalue problem that often arises in solving partial differential equations, including the heat and wave equations. To compute eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville problem...

We study finite difference approximations of solutions of direct and inverse Sturm–Liouville problems, in a finite or infinite interval on the real line. The discretization is done on optimal grids, with a three-point finite difference stencil. The optimal location of the grid points is calculated via a rational approximation of the Neumann-to-Dirichletmap and the latter converges exponentially...

It is well known that the two spectra {λn} and {μn} uniquely determine the potential function q (r) in a Sturm-Liouville equation defined on the unit interval having the singularity type ( ) 2 1 2 r r + +   (where  is a integer) at the point zero. In this work, we give the solution of the inverse problem on two partially noncoincide spectra for the Sturm-Liouville equation with the peculiari...

This paper gives constructive algorithms for the classical inverse Sturm-Liouville problem. It is shown that many of the formulations of this problem are equivalent to solving an overdetermined boundary value problem for a certain hyperbolic operator. Two methods of solving this latter problem are then provided, and numerical examples are presented.
