Abstract
This is the second in a series of papers on scattering theory for one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with Miura potentials admitting a Riccati representation of the form q = u' + u2 for some u Ie{cyrillic, ukrainian} L2(R). We consider potentials for which there exist 'left' and 'right' Riccati representatives with prescribed integrability on half-lines. This class includes all Faddeev-Marchenko potentials in L1(R (1 +⌊x⌋)dx) generating positive Schrödinger operators as well as many distributional potentials with Dirac delta-functions and Coulomb-like singularities. We completely describe the corresponding set of reflection coefficients r and justify the algorithm reconstructing q from r.
