Abstract
Consider a quantum graph consisting of a ring with two attached edges, and assume Kirchhoff-Neumann conditions hold at the internal vertices. Associated to this graph is a Schr\"{o}dinger type operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions at the two boundary nodes. Let be the eigenvalues and associated normalized eigenfunctions. Let be a boundary vertex, and the adjacent internal vertex. Assume we know the following data: Here refers to an outward normal derivative at along one of the edges incident to the other internal vertex. From this data we determine the following unknown quantities: the lengths of edges and the potential functions on each edge.
