Abstract

Second order differential operators on the half-line with complex-valued weights are considered. Properties of spectral characteristics are established, and the inverse problem of recovering operator’s coefficients from the given Weyl-type function is studied. The uniqueness theorem is proved for this class of nonlinear inverse problems, and a number of examples are provided.
