โฆ Synopsis
An inverse spectral theory is presented for certain linear ordinary differential operators of arbitrary even order n which generalizes the Gel'fand-Levitan theory for Stu~m-Liouville operators. It is proved that the coefficients in these operators are uniquely determined by n -1 distinct spectral matrices. Our method of proof makes use of a transformation due to M.K. Fage which generalizes the Povzner-Levitan transformations for Sturm-Liouville operators

We study the inverse problem of recovering differential operators of the Orr -Sommerfeld type from the Weyl matrix. Properties of the Weyl matrix are investigated, and an uniqueness theorem for the solution of the inverse problem is proved.
