Numerical Methods for Partial Inverse Spectral Problems with Frozen Arguments on Star-Shaped Graphs

In this paper, the authors investigate a partial inverse spectral problem for Sturm–Liouville operators with frozen arguments on star-shaped graphs. The problem is to reconstruct the potential on one edge from the known potentials on the other edges together with two sequences of eigenvalues from a prescribed spectral set. The proposed approach is constructive. First, the characteristic function associated with the given spectral data is constructed, allowing the unknown potential contribution to be isolated. The potential is then recovered by expanding the resulting expressions in an appropriate Riesz basis and solving a corresponding system of linear equations. Based on established uniqueness results, this procedure yields a constructive numerical algorithm. Numerical examples demonstrate reliable reconstruction for both smooth and piecewise continuous potentials, providing a practical scheme for frozen-argument problems on star graphs.
