Abstract
A canonical system is a kind of first-order system of ordinary differential equations on an interval of the real line parametrized by complex numbers. It is known that any solution of a canonical system generates an entire function of the Hermite-Biehler class. In this paper, we deal with the inverse problem to recover a canonical system from a given entire function of the Hermite-Biehler class satisfying appropriate conditions. This inverse problem was solved by de Branges in 1960s. However his results are often not enough to investigate a Hamiltonian of recovered canonical system. In this paper, we present an explicit way to recover a Hamiltonian from a given exponential polynomial belonging to the Hermite-Biehler class. After that, we apply it to study distributions of roots of self-reciprocal polynomials.
