Ambarzumyan’s Theorem on Graphs
Abstract: Ambarzumian’s theorem was the starting point of the
investigation of the inverse Sturm-Liouville problems. It deals with a
very exceptional case where one spectrum uniquely determines the
potential of the Sturm-Liouville equation on a finite interval.
Generally, as it was proved by Borg, one should know two spectra.
However, there exist some generalizations of Ambarzumian’s theorem (for
the vector Sturm-Liouville case, for the Dirac equation).
We consider the Sturm-Liouville equation on a star shaped graph with
Neumann boundary conditions at the pendant vertices and continuity
conditions and Kirkchoff’s condition at the central vertex and prove
analogues of Ambarzumian’s theorem.
