Abstract

We study a generalized inverse eigenvalue problem (GIEP), Ax=λBx, in which A is a semi-infinite Jacobi matrix with positive off-diagonal entries ci>0, and B=diag(b0,b1,), where bi0 for i=0,1,. We give an explicit solution by establishing an appropriate spectral function with respect to a given set of spectral data.
