Abstract

In this paper, we study the inverse eigenvalue problem of a specially structured Jacobi matrix, which arises from the discretization of the differential equation governing the axial of a rod with varying cross section (Ram and Elhay 1998 Commum. Numer. Methods Engng. 14 597-608). We give a sufficient and some necessary conditions for such inverse eigenvalue problem to have solutions. Based on these results, a simple method for the reconstruction of a Jacobi matrix from eigenvalues is developed. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate our results.
