In this paper, inverse spectral problems for Sturm–Liouville operators on a tree (a graph without cycles) are studied. We show that if the potential on an edge is known a priori, then b – 1 spectral sets uniquely determine the potential functions on a tree with b external edges. Constructive solutions, based on the method of spectral mappings, are provided for the considered inverse problems.
