Abstract
We consider the sum of the Sturm-Liouville operator and a convolution operator. We study the inverse problem of reconstructing the convolution operator from the spectrum. This problem is reduced to a nonlinear integral equation with a singularity. We prove the global solvability of this nonlinear equation, which permits one to show that the asymptotics of the spectrum is a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the inverse problem. The proof is constructive.
