On recovering quadratic pencils with singular coefficients and entire functions in the boundary conditions

Abstract

In the paper, we study an inverse spectral problem for quadratic pencils of the Sturm--Liouville operators with singular coefficients and entire functions in the boundary conditions. We prove that a subspectrum is sufficient for recovering the pencil if this subspectrum generates a complete functional system. As well, we obtain an algorithm solving the inverse problem and alternative conditions on the subspectrum. Finally, these results are applied to studying a partial inverse problem.
