Abstract

An inverse spectral optimization problem is considered: given a matrix potential \({{Q}_{0}}(x)\) and a value \(\lambda {\kern 1pt} \text{*}\), find a matrix function \(\hat {Q}(x)\) closest to \({{Q}_{0}}(x)\) such that the kth eigenvalue of the Sturm–Liouville matrix operator with potential \(\hat {Q}(x)\) matches \(\lambda {\kern 1pt} \text{*}\). The main result of the paper is the proof of existence and uniqueness theorems. Explicit formulas for the optimal potential are established through solutions to systems of second-order nonlinear differential equations known in mathematical physics as systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
