Abstract

We consider the Dirac equation given by y′ = ((- (λ-c+v2p-pλ+c+v1)) y, y = (y2y1) on [0, ∞), with initial condition y 1 (0) cos α + y2 (0) sin α = 0, α ∈[0, π) and suppose the equation is in the limit-point case at infinity. Using ρ′α(μ) to denote the derivative of the corresponding spectral function, a formula for ρ′β(μ) is given when ρ′αa(μ) is known and positive for three distinct values of α. In general, if ρ′α(μ) is known and positive for only two distinct values of α, then ρ′β(μ) is shown to be one of two possibilities. However, in special cases of the Dirac equation, ρ′ β(μ) can be uniquely determined given ρ′α(μ) for only two values of α.
