BOUND-STATES AND INVERSE SCATTERING FOR THE SCHRODINGER-EQUATION IN ONE-DIMENSION

The one-dimensional Schrödinger equation is considered when the potential and its first moment are absolutely integrable. When the potential has support contained on the left (right) half-line, it is uniquely constructed by using only the reflection coefficient from the right (left). The bound state norming constants determine whether the potential has support contained on a half-line or on the full-line. The bound state energies and the unique set of norming constants yielding the potential with support contained on the left (right) half-line are completely determined by the reflection coefficient from the right (left). An explicit example is provided. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.
