In this paper, we present a Chebyshev based spectral method for the computation of the Jost solutions corresponding to complex values of the spectral parameter in the Zakharov–Shabat scattering problem. The discrete framework is then used to devise a new algorithm based on a minimum total variation (MTV) principle for the computation of the norming constants which comprise the discrete part of the nonlinear Fourier spectrum. The method relies on the MTV principle to find the points where the expressions for norming constants are numerically well-conditioned.
