    ABSTRACT:: In this paper, we present a survey of some recent results
               regarding direct methods for solving certain symmetric
               inverse eigenvalue problems. The problems we discuss in this
               paper are those of generating a symmetric matrix, either
               Jacobi, banded, or some variation thereof, given only some
               information on the eigenvalues of the matrix itself and some
               of its principal submatrices. Much of the motivation for the
               problems discussed in this paper came about from an interest
               in the inverse Sturm-Liouville problem.

               A preliminary version of this report was issued as a
               technical report of the Computer Science Department,
