# Inverse problem for Stieltjes string damped at one end

### Abstract

Small transversal vibrations of the Stieltjes string, i.e., an elastic thread bearing point masses is considered for the case of one end being fixed and the other end moving with viscous friction in the direction orthogonal to the equilibrium position of the string. The inverse problem of recovering the masses, the lengths of subintervals and the coefficient of damping by the spectrum of vibrations of such a string and its total length is solved.
