    An inverse problem for an inhomogeneous string with an interval of zero density and a concentrated mass at the end point
    (2016-05-10) Mdhluli, Daniel Sipho
    The direct and inverse spectral problems for an inhomogeneous string with an interval of zero density and a concentrated mass at the end point moving with damping are investigated. The partial differential equation is mapped into an ordinary differential equation using separation of variables which in turn is transformed into a Sturm-Liouville differential equation with boundary conditions depending on these parathion variable. The Marchenko approach is employed in the inverse problem to recover the potential, density and other parameters from the knowledge of the two spectra and length of the string.
