Direct and inverse spectral theory of singular left-definite Sturm-Liouville operators (1110.5195v3)
Published 24 Oct 2011 in math.SP and math.FA
Abstract: We discuss direct and inverse spectral theory of self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville relations with separated boundary conditions in the left-definite setting. In particular, we develop singular Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for these relations. Consequently, we apply de Branges' subspace ordering theorem to obtain inverse uniqueness results for the associated spectral measure. The results can be applied to solve the inverse spectral problem associated with the Camassa-Holm equation.
