Borg-type theorem for a class of higher-order differential operators

In this paper, we study an inverse spectral operator for the higher-order differential equation $(-1)^my^{(2m)}+ q y = λy$, where $q \in L^2(0,π)$. We prove that if $\|q\|_2$ is sufficiently small, the two spectra corresponding to the both Dirichlet boundary conditions and to the Dirichlet-Neumann ones uniquely determine the potential $q$. The result extends the Borg theorem from the second order to all even higher orders.

Borg-type theorem for a class of fourth-order differential operators

In this paper, we study an inverse spectral problem for the fourth-order differential equation $y^{(4)} - (p y')' + q y = λy$ with real-valued coefficients $p$ and $q$ of $L^2(0,1)$. We prove that, for near-constant coefficients, the two spectra corresponding to the Dirichlet and the Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions uniquely determine either $p$ or $q$. The result extends the Borg theorem of the second-order case to the fourth-order case.

A class of higher order inverse spectral problems

In this paper, we consider the recovery of third-order differential operators from two spectra, as well as fourth-order or fifth-order differential operators from three spectra, where these differential operators are endowed with complex-valued distributional coefficients. For the case of multiple spectra, we first establish the relationship between spectra and the Weyl-Yurko matrix. Secondly, we prove the uniqueness theorem for the solution of the inverse problems. Our approach allows us to obtain results for the general case of complex-valued distributional coefficients.
