Abstract
We study the inverse spectral problem of reconstructing nonsplitting boundary conditions for the Sturm–Liouville operator from a minimal amount of spectral data. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of solutions of the problem under consideration and for these solutions to be isolated or nonisolated. We propose a simple analytical algorithm for reconstructing boundary conditions. (Explicit formulas are provided for the coefficients of the boundary conditions.) It is shown that the condition determining the properties of the problem is the dimension of the linear span of matrices of fundamental solution systems corresponding to the given spectral data.
