Inverse nodal problems for Dirac differential operators with jump condition

TL;DR
This work addresses the inverse nodal problem for a one-dimensional Dirac system with an internal discontinuity and jump conditions. It develops new uniform-asymptotics for the eigenfunctions, defines a characteristic function $\Delta(\mu)$, and derives precise eigenvalue and nodal expansions in terms of the potential and boundary data. The main theoretical contribution is a uniqueness result: a dense nodal subset of zeros of the first eigenfunction component uniquely determines the coefficient function $\Omega(x)$ and the boundary parameter $\theta$, accompanied by an explicit reconstruction algorithm to recover $V(x)$, $m$, and $\theta$ from nodal data. A worked example demonstrates the reconstruction, highlighting the practical applicability of the method to discontinuous Dirac operators. Overall, the paper advances inverse nodal theory for discontinuous Dirac systems and provides a concrete, data-driven reconstruction procedure.
Abstract
This paper deals with an inverse nodal problem for the Dirac differential operator with the discontinuity conditions inside the interval. We obtain a new approach for asymptotic expressions of the solutions and prove that the coefficients of the Dirac system can be determined uniquely by a dense subset of the nodal points (zeros of the first component of the eigenfunction). We also provide an algorithm for constructing the solution of this inverse nodal problem.
