The Inverse Spectral Problem for Jacobi-Type Pencils

Abstract

In this paper we study the inverse spectral problem for Jacobi-type pencils. By a Jacobi-type pencil we mean the following pencil $J_5-\lambda J_3$, where $J_3$ is a Jacobi matrix and $J_5$ is a semi-infinite real symmetric five-diagonal matrix with positive numbers on the second subdiagonal. In the case of a special perturbation of orthogonal polynomials on a finite interval the corresponding spectral function takes an explicit form.
