If you have problems logging into Zoom, you can connect to the YouTube livestream of the seminarThe talk is devoted to the study of nonlinear inverse problems of spectral analysis for ordinary differential operators. The main attention will be paid to the method of spectral mappings, which is currently the most efficient and versatile tool for studying various classes of spectral inverse problems. This method will be compared with the wave method created by V. A. Marchenko and B. M. Levitan.
