SynopsisIn the Inverse Spectral Theorem in the form given by Levitan and Gasymov, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a non-decreasing function, p(ℷ), to be the spectral function of a Sturm–Liouville problem. In these conditions, p(ℷ) is compared with the spectral function for the particular Strum–Liouville problemIf the method of Levitan and Gasymov's proof is slightly adapted, the necessary and sufficient conditions can be stated in a more general form in which p(ℷ) is compared with the spectral function for any problem of the formwherehOis real and qo(x) locally integrable.
