Abstract

The inverse nodal problem for perturbed spherical Schrödinger operator defined on (0, 1) is studied. We prove that the potential on the whole interval can be uniquely determined in terms of a twin dense nodal subset known on the interior subinterval \((a,1),a \in (0,1).\)  Especially, when  \(a \in \left( \frac{1}{2},1\right) ,\)  we need additional spectral information, which is associated with the derivatives of eigenfunctions at some known nodal points.
