Abstract

Inverse nodal problem consists in constructing operators from the given zeros of  their eigenfunctions. The problem of differential operators with nonlocal boundary condition appears, e.g., in scattering theory, diffusion processes and the other applicable fields. In this paper, we consider a class of differential operators with nonlocal boundary condition, and show that the potential function can be determined by nodal data.
