Inverse scattering on the line for Schrodinger operators with Miura potentials, II. Different Riccati representatives


Abstract in English

This is the second in a series of papers on scattering theory for one-dimensional Schrodinger operators with Miura potentials admitting a Riccati representation of the form $q=u+u^2$ for some $uin L^2(R)$. We consider potentials for which there exist `left and `right Riccati representatives with prescribed integrability on half-lines. This class includes all Faddeev--Marchenko potentials in $L^1(R,(1+|x|)dx)$ generating positive Schrodinger operators as well as many distributional potentials with Dirac delta-functions and Coulomb-like singularities. We completely describe the corresponding set of reflection coefficients $r$ and justify the algorithm reconstructing $q$ from $r$.
