Inverse problems for Jacobi operators I: Interior mass-spring perturbations in finite systems

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider a linear finite spring mass system which is perturbed by modifying one mass and adding one spring. From knowledge of the natural frequencies of the original and the perturbed systems we study when masses and springs can be reconstructed. This is a problem about rank two or rank three type perturbations of finite Jacobi matrices where we are able to describe quite explicitly the associated Green's functions. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for two given sets of points to be eigenvalues of the original and modified system respectively.
