Strict ground-level gaps on long-pendant generalized star graphs for nonlinear Dirac equations

We study strict ground-level gaps for autonomous nonlinear Dirac equations on noncompact metric graphs. The relevant level at infinity is the autonomous full-line level \(d_λ^\infty=d_{λ,\mathbb R}\), since a concentrating sequence escaping along a half-line sees the real line after recentering far
