Inverse problems in the theory of orthogonal polynomials and applications to Jacobi operators theory

In this talk we will speak about orthogonal polynomials, focusing our presentation on the so called inverse problems. Several connections with different branches of mathematics will be pointed out. In particular, we will consider some problems in the framework of approximation theory involving Sobolev orthogonal polynomials as well as applications to the spectral theory of Jacobi operators.
