Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the inverse problems for Sturm–Liouville operators with boundary conditions polynomially dependent on the spectral parameter. We establish some uniqueness theorems on the potential q(x) for the half inverse problem and the interior inverse problem from spectral data, respectively.
