Abstract

In this paper, the partial inverse nodal problem for differential pencils with real-valued coefficients on a finite interval \([0,1]\) was studied. The authors showed that the coefficients \((q_{0}(x),q_{1}(x),h,H_0)\) of the differential pencil \(L_0\) can be uniquely determined by partial nodal data on the right(or, left) arbitrary subinterval \([a,b]\) of \([0,1].\) Finally, an example was given to verify the validity of the reconstruction algorithm for this inverse nodal problem.
