  • Abstract

    This brief paper considers a potential issue of using iterative solutions for the Gelfand-Levitan equation. Iterative solutions require approx-imation methods and this could lead to a loss of uniqueness of solutions. The calculations in this paper demonstrate that this is not the case and that uniqueness is preserved.
