Abstract. In this paper, we show that If q(x) is prescribed on the

π 2,π]
then the one spectrum suffices to determine q(x) on the interval(
.The potential function q(x) in a Sturm Liouville problem is uniquely determined with one spectra by using the Hochstadt and Lieberman’s method [2].)

Proof : Before proving the theorem we will first mention some results which will be need later. We take the following problems
y y x x q y Ly ν =λ + − + ′′ − = ( ) 2 21/4 (7) ) 1 ( 2 1 ) , ( lim 1/2 0 − = Γ + → ν λ ν ν x x y x (8)
