Abstract:

The Marchenko equation for the N ×N Zakharov-Shabat operator on the line is given via the Riemann-Hilbert problem. It is derived on the basis of the direct spectral problem which was solved through the Fredholm integral equation. In the 2 ×2 problem the Marchenko equations for the right and the left inverse problems are separated but in the N ×N case we obtain a coupled Marchenko equations. The integral kernel of the Marchenko equation is shown to be of the Hilbert-Schmidt type for a general class of Schwarz type potentials and hence in the inverse problem the equation is solvable by the theorem of the Fredholm alternatives. Finally reduction to the 2 ×2 case is briefly discussed.
