Abstract

We study the issues of the reconstruction and stability of the inverse nodal problem for the one-dimensional p-Laplacian eigenvalue problem. A key step is the application of a modified Prüfer substitution to derive a detailed asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalues and nodal lengths. Two associated Ambarzumyan problems are also solved.
