Chain structured vibration systems with N degrees of freedom with masses m j and stiffnesses k j have been discussed in detail [1]. Some of them can be solved explicitly, others only numerically. Here, an inverse problem is considered: How m j , k j , j = 1, …, N, should be chosen such that the related eigenvalue/eigenvector‐problem can be solved by Laguerre polynomials?
