“…For noncompact graphs the theory is only at the beginning. Some aspects of the inverse problem theory for noncompact graphs were considered in [5,7,10,11,18,34]. We note that inverse spectral problems for second-order and for higher-order ordinary differential operators on an interval (finite or infinite) have been studied by many authors (see the monographs [2,6,8,15,17,24,26,27] and references therein).…”
