Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to compute the eigenvalues of Dirac systems using a regularized sampling method. The operator examined here is the massless Dirac operator on a finite interval. The problem with singular coefficients is not covered in the present analysis. But problems whose coefficients may involve finite jumps of discontinuities are involved. The regularized technique allows us to insert some parameters to the well known sinc method; strengthening the existing sinc technique and to avoid the aliasing error. Examples are presented to demonstrate the credibility of the method with graphs and numerical illustrations.
