Abstract

In this work, we study the matrix Sturm-Liouville operator with the separated self-adjoint boundary conditions of general type, in terms of two unitary matrices. Some properties of the eigenvalues and the normalization matrices are given. Uniqueness theorems for determining the potential and the unitary matrices in the boundary conditions from the Weyl matrix, two characteristic matrices or one spectrum and the corresponding normalization matrices are proved.
