Inverse problem for 1D Schrodinger operators with periodic distributions (AP)

ABSTRACT:

Consider the 1D Schrodinger operator on the real line, where the periodic potential is a distribution. The spectrum of this operator is purely absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We solve the inverse problem (including characterization) both in terms of vertical slits on the quasimomentum domain and in terms of gap lengths. Furthermore, we obtain a priori two-sided estimates for these maps.
