Abstract
We obtain the classical Ambarzumyan's theorem for the Sturm-Liouville operator L with real-valued potential q ∈ L1[0, 1] and periodic boundary conditions when the subset of the spectrum of L and Fourier coecients ck of the potential q such that the condition
holds are given. The same result holds for the anti-periodic boundary conditions.
