Abstract
Using a parameterisation of general self-adjoint boundary conditions in terms of Lagrange planes we propose a scheme for factorising the matrix Schrödinger operator and hence construct a Darboux transformation, an interesting feature of which is that the matrix potential and  boundary conditions are altered under the transformation. We present a solution of the inverse problem in the case of general boundary conditions using a Marchenko equation and discuss the specialisation to the case of a graph with trivial compact part, that is, with diagonal matrix potential.
