Abstract

We give a short review of results on inverse spectral problems for second-order differential operators on an interval with non-separated boundary conditions. We pay the main attention to the most important nonlinear inverse problems of recovering coefficients of differential operators from given spectral characteristics. In the first part of the review, we provide the main results and methods related to inverse problems for Sturm–Liouville operators with non-separated boundary conditions: periodic, quasi-periodic and Robin-type boundary conditions. At the end, we present the main results on inverse problems for differential pencils with non-separated boundary conditions.
