A representation of the transmutation kernels for the Schrödinger operator in terms of eigenfunctions and applications

Abstract

The representations of the kernels of the transmutation operator and of its inverse relating the one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with the second derivative are obtained in terms of the eigenfunctions of a corresponding Sturm-Liouville problem. Since both series converge slowly and in general only in a certain distributional sense we find a way to improve these expansions and make them convergent uniformly and absolutely by adding and subtracting corresponding terms. A numerical illustration of the obtained results is given.
