Inverse nodal problem for Dirac system with spectral parameter in boundary conditions (Q371856)

The paper deals with the inverse problem for the operator determined by the Dirac system \[ By'(x)+Q(x)y(x)=\lambda y(x),\quad x\in[0,\pi], \] and the boundary conditions linearly dependent on the spectral parameter \[ (\lambda \cos \alpha+a_0)y_1(0) + (\lambda \sin \alpha+b_0)y_2(0)=0,\, (\lambda \cos \beta+a_1)y_1(\pi) + (\lambda \sin \beta+b_1)y_2(\pi)=0. \] The problem is, given a set of nodal points, i.e. the set of zeros of a component of eigenfunctions, to reconstruct the function \(V\), the number \(m\), and the set of parameters involved in the boundary conditions. The authors prove a uniqueness theorem and provide a constructive solution of the inverse nodal problem. In the proof, it is important that the set of nodal points is dense in \([0,\pi]\). The problem of characterization of the set of nodal points remains open.
