Topology in One Point Interaction Problem on Extended Non-Local Star Graphs and its Eigenvalues

Abstract

The author studies the inverse spectral problem of Sturm-Liouville operator on a star-like metric graph. At the vertex of this star-like graph, there are attached $m$ edges that imposed with non-local Sturm-Liouville operator satisfying some suitable non-local boundary conditions. At the vertex, we consider one point interaction condition to model a metric graph that fixed on the end of edges of the graph. This models the vibration or flux that changes over time that monitored at the vertex which serves as certain control/regulation center. The author shows that the system is solvable under very necessary conditions. It is crucial to recover the topology of the network/metric graph which the topology is given. To begin the analysis, one constructs the special solution fixed on one end of edges while maintaining continuous at the vertex. This models a string that is vibrating vertically at the vertex according to certain frequencies. The non-local characteristic function plays a role, and then, one tries to find a non-trivial non-local eigenvalue.
