An inverse eigenvalue problem for pseudo-Jacobi matrices

In this paper, the theory on direct and inverse spectral problems for Jacobi matrices is revisited in a kind of pseudo-Jacobi matrices J(n, r, beta) with a mixed path as its graph in the non-self-adjoint setting. In this context, a sign change in one of the nondiagonal entries of the matrix yields strong perturbations in its spectral properties. The reconstruction of a pseudo-Jacobi matrix from its spectrum and the spectra of two complementary principal Keywords: matrices is investigated. An algorithm for the reconstruction of matrices from prescribed Inverse problem spectral data is provided and illustrative numerical experiments are performed. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.
