Abstract

The problem of recovery of a potential on a quantum star graph from Weyl's matrix given at a finite number of points is considered. A method for its approximate solution is proposed. It consists in reducing the problem to a two-spectra inverse Sturm-Liouville problem on each edge with its posterior solution. The overall approach is based on Neumann series of Bessel functions (NSBF) representations for solutions of Sturm-Liouville equations, and, in fact, the solution of the inverse problem on the quantum graph reduces to dealing with the NSBF coefficients. The NSBF representations admit estimates for the series remainders which are independent of the real part of the square root of the spectral parameter. This feature makes them especially useful for solving direct and inverse problems requiring calculation of solutions on large intervals in the spectral parameter. Moreover, the first coefficient of the NSBF representation alone is sufficient for the recovery of the potential. The knowledge of the Weyl matrix at a set of points allows one to calculate a number of the NSBF coefficients at the end point of each edge, which leads to approximation of characteristic functions of two Sturm-Liouville problems and allows one to compute the Dirichlet-Dirichlet and Neumann-Dirichlet spectra on each edge. In turn, for solving this two-spectra inverse Sturm-Liouville problem a system of linear algebraic equations is derived for computing the first NSBF coefficient and hence for recovering the potential. The proposed method leads to an efficient numerical algorithm that is illustrated by a number of numerical tests.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
