Inverse nodal problems for Sturm-Liouville equation with nonlocal boundary conditions (Q2109042)

The authors consider Sturm-Liouville problems under some the Bitsadze-Samarskii type nonlocal boundary conditions \(L=L(q,h,H,\gamma_{0},\gamma_{1},\xi_{0},\xi_{1})\): \begin{align*} \ell y &:=-y''+q(x)y=\lambda y, \ \ \ x\in\Omega=(0,1)\\ U(y) &:=y'(0)+hy(0)-\gamma_{0}y(\xi_{0})=0,\\ V(y) &:=y'(1)+Hy(1)-\gamma_{1}y(\xi_{1})=0, \end{align*} where \(q(x)\) is a real valued continuously differentiable function, \(h,\ H \in\mathbb{R}\cup\{\infty\}\), \(\gamma_{i}\neq 0\) are real numbers for \(i=0,1,\) \(\xi_{i}\) are rational numbers in \((0,1)\) for \(i=0,1\) and \(\lambda\) is the spectral parameter. The main goal of this paper is to solve inverse nodal problems for this boundary value problem in each of the following cases \begin{itemize} \item[i)] \(h, H\in \mathbb{R}\), \item[ii)] \(h=\infty\), \(H\in\mathbb{R}\), \item[iii)] \(h\in\mathbb{R}\), \(H=\infty\). \end{itemize} The spectral properties of the problem are examined. The uniqueness of coefficients of the problem according to a set of nodal points is obtained and an algorithm for the reconstruction of these coefficients is given.
