Abstract
Inverse eigenvalue problems are not only interesting in their own right but also have important practical applications. We recall the fundamental paper by Kac [132]. Other applications appear in parameter identification problems for parabolic or hyperbolic differential equations (see [149, 170, 234]) or in grating theory ([140]).
