Summary:We consider right and left formulations of the inverse scattering problem for the Zakharov–Shabat system and the corresponding integral Gelfand–Levitan–Marchenko equations. Both formulations are helpful for numerical solving of the inverse scattering problem, which we perform using the previously developed Toeplitz Inner Bordering (TIB) algorithm. First, we establish general relations between the right and left scattering coefficients. Then we propose an auxiliary kernel of the left Gelfand–Levitan–Marchenko equations, which allows one to solve the right scattering problem numerically. We generalize the TIB algorithm, initially proposed in the left formulation, to the right scattering problem case with the obtained formulas. The test runs of the TIB algorithm illustrate our results reconstructing the various non-symmetrical potentials from their right scattering data.
