Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-35"> <span style="color: rgb(46, 46, 46); font-family: Arial;"> The Newton-Sabatier procedure for finding the potential from fixed-energy phase shifts is analyzed. A method is proposed for finding two quite different spherically-symmetric real-valued, piecewise-constant, compactly supported potentials which generate at a fixed energy the phase shifts &delta;&ell; which are practically indistinguishable for all &ell;. In particular, an explicit concrete example of two such potentials qj, j = 1,2 is demonstrated. These potentials have the properties: (1) sup |q11 &minus; q2| &gt; 3, and qj, j = 1,2, are of order of magnitude 1, (2) &delta;l(1) = &delta;l(2) for l = 0, &hellip;,4 and |&delta;l(1) &minus; &delta;l(2)| &le; 10&minus;5, l &gt; 4. </span></div>
