In this paper, an approach for studying inverse Sturm-Liouville problems with integrable potentials on finite intervals is presented. We find the relations between Weyl solutions and mj -functions of Sturm-Liouville problems, and by finding the connection between these and the solutions of second-order partial differential equations for transformation kernels associated with Sturm-Liouville operators, we prove the uniqueness of the solution of inverse problems.

Abstract. In this paper, we are going to investigate the canonical property of solutions of systems of differential equations having a singularity and turning point of even order. First, by a replacement, we transform the system to the Sturm-Liouville equation with turning point. Using of the asymptotic estimates provided by Eberhard, Freiling, and Schneider for a special fundamental system of solutions of the Sturm-Liouville equation, we study the infinite product representation of solutions of the systems. Then we transform the Sturm-Liouville equation with turning point to the equation with singularity, then we study the asymptotic behavior of its solutions. Such representations are relevant to the inverse spectral problem.

In the present paper, we consider an inverse problem for the Sturm-Liouville operator with a finite number of discontinuities at interior points and boundary conditions polynomially dependent on the spectral parameter on an arbitrary finite interval, and prove the Hochstadt-Lieberman-type theorem for this problem.

In this paper, a boundary value problem consisting of a delay differential equation of the Sturm-Liouville type with eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions is investigated. The asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues is studied and the parameter of delay is determined by eigenvalues. Then we obtain the connection between the potential function and the canonical form of the characteristic function.
