In studying differential equations, the usual task is to determine properties of the solutions of such equations from a knowledge of the coefficient functions. The converse question, namely, of determining the coefficient functions from properties of solutions, also has significance. It has been studied especially in the case of Sturm-Liouville equations.A discussion of the inverse Sturm-Liouville problem can be found in [8, Chapter 8], where references are given to the work of W.A. Ambarzumiam, G. Borg, I.M. Gelfand, M.G. Krein, B.M. Levitan, N. Levinson and W.A. Marchenko on this problem. Work of a quite different character, but dealing also with questions of a converse type arising from Sturm-Liouville equations, has been done by O. Boruvka and his colleagues and students [2].

The Subject

The eigenfunctions of a boundary value problem are characterized by two quite distinct properties. They are solutions of ordinary differential equations, and they satisfy prescribed boundary conditions. It is a definite advantage to combine these two requirements into a single problem expressed by a unified formula. The use of integral equations is an example in point. The subject of this paper, namely the Schrödinger-Infeld Factorization Method, which is applicable to certain restricted. Sturm-Liouville problems, is based upon another combination of the two properties. The Factorization Method prescribes a manufacturing process.

SynopsisThe main result of this paper is to establish the completeness of the eigenfunctions for the multiparameter eigenvalue problem defined by the system of ordinary differential equations0 ≤ x, ≤ 1, r = 1, …, k, subject to the Sturm-Liouville boundary conditionsr = 1, …, k. In addition it is assumed that the coefficients ars of the spectral parameters λs, satisfy the ellipticity condition , s = 1, …, k, for all xrɛ[0, 1], r = 1, …, k, and some real k-tuple μ1, …, μk and where is the co-factor of asr in the determinant . The theory developed here contrasts with the results known when …k is assumed non-vanishing for all xrɛ[0,1].
