Existence of Positive Solutions for Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems

Positive solutions and nonlinear multipoint conjugate eigenvalue problems ∗

Values of λ are determined for which there exist solutions in a cone of the n order nonlinear differential equation, u = λa(t)f(u), 0 < t < 1, satisfying the multipoint boundary conditions, u(ai) = 0, 0 ≤ j ≤ ni−1, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, where 0 = a1 < a2 < · · · < ak = 1, and ∑k i=1 ni = n, where a and f are nonnegative valued, and where both lim |x|→0+ f(x)/|x| and lim |x|→∞ f(x)/|x| exist.

Multiple Nontrivial Solutions for Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems

In this paper we study a nonlinear eigenvalue problem driven by the p-Laplacian. Assuming for the right-hand side nonlinearity only unilateral and sign conditions near zero, we prove the existence of three nontrivial solutions, two of which have constant sign (one is strictly positive and the other is strictly negative), while the third one belongs to the order interval formed by the two opposi...

Asymptotic Shape of Solutions to Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem −u′′(t) = f(λ, u(t)), u > 0, u(0) = u(1) = 0, where λ > 0 is a parameter. It is known that under some conditions on f(λ, u), the shape of the solutions associated with λ is almost ‘box’ when λ 1. The purpose of this paper is to study precisely the asymptotic shape of the solutions as λ → ∞ from a standpoint of L1-framework. To do this, we establish t...

Asymptotic Expansion of Solutions to Nonlinear Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem −∆u+ g(u) = λ sinu in Ω, u > 0 in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ RN (N ≥ 2) is an appropriately smooth bounded domain and λ > 0 is a parameter. It is known that if λ 1, then the corresponding solution uλ is almost flat and almost equal to π inside Ω. We establish an asymptotic expansion of uλ(x) (x ∈ Ω) when λ 1, which is explicitly represented by g.
