The classical inverse scattering theory, including all its ingredients: Jost solutions, the Gelfand-Levitan equation, the tau function, corresponds to regular vessels, defined by bounded operators. A contribution of this work is the construction of models of vessels corresponding to unbounded operators, which is a first step for the inverse scattering for a wider class of potentials. A detailed research of Jost solutions and the corresponding vessel is presented for the unbounded Sturm-Liouville case. Models of vessels on curves, corresponding to unbounded operators are presented as a tool to study Linear Differential equations of finite order with a spectral parameter and as examples, we show how the family of Non Linear Schrodinger equations and Canonical Systems arise.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-08-23T15:06:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34A30", "34A55", "46C20", "G.1.7", "G.1.9", "J.2" ], "keywords": [ "jost solutions", "study linear differential equations", "non linear schrodinger equations", "sturm-liouville differential equation", "unbounded operators" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1103.2392M" } } }
