Abstract:
We consider the Sturm–Liouville equation
$$
-y''+qy=\lambda^2y
$$
in an annular domain $K$ from $\mathbb C$ and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the potential $q$ under which all solutions of the equation $-y''(z)+q(z)y(z)=\lambda^2y(z)$, $z\in\gamma$, where
$\gamma$ is a certain curve, are unique in the domain $K$ for all values of the parameter $\lambda\in\mathbb C$.
