Abstract
An inverse nodal problem lies in constructing operators from the given zeros of their eigenfunctions. In this work, we deal with an inverse nodal problem of reconstructing the Dirac system with the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions. We prove that a set of nodal points of one of the components of the eigenfunctions uniquely determines all the parameters of the boundary conditions and the coefficients of the Dirac equations. We also provide a constructive procedure for solving this inverse nodal problem.
