Eigenvalues for Radially Symmetric Non-variational Fully Nonlinear Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an elementary theory about the existence of eigenvalues for fully nonlinear radially symmetric 1-homogeneous operators. A general theory for first eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of 1-homogeneous fully nonlinear operators exists in the framework of viscosity solutions. Here we want to show that for the radially symmetric operators (and one dimensional) a much simpler theory can be established, and that the complete set of eigenvalues and eigenfuctions characterized by the number of zeroes can be obtained.

Non-variational Computation of the Eigenstates of Dirac Operators with Radially Symmetric Potentials Lyonell Boulton and Nabile Boussaid
We discuss a novel strategy for computing the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the relativistic Dirac operator with a radially symmetric potential. The virtues of this strategy lie on the fact that it avoids completely the phenomenon of spectral pollution and it always provides two-side estimates for the eigenvalues with explicit error bounds on both eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. We also dis...
متن کاملOn the Thomas-Fermi ground state in a harmonic potential
We study non-linear ground states of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation in the space of one, two and three dimensions with a radially symmetric harmonic potential. The Thomas–Fermi approximation of ground states on various spatial scales was recently justified using variational methods. We justify here the Thomas–Fermi approximation on an uniform spatial scale using the Painlevé-II equation. In the ...
متن کاملPrincipal eigenvalues and the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear elliptic operators
We study uniformly elliptic fully nonlinear equations of the type F (D2u,Du, u, x) = f(x). We show that convex positively 1-homogeneous operators possess two principal eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, and study these objects ; we obtain existence and uniqueness results for non-proper operators whose principal eigenvalues (in some cases, only one of them) are positive ; finally, we obtain an exis...
متن کاملOscillation of the Perturbed Hill Equation and the Lower Spectrum of Radially Periodic Schrödinger Operators in the Plane
Generalizing the classical result of Kneser, we show that the Sturm-Liouville equation with periodic coefficients and an added perturbation term −c2/r2 is oscillatory or non-oscillatory (for r →∞) at the infimum of the essential spectrum, depending on whether c2 surpasses or stays below a critical threshold. An explicit characterization of this threshold value is given. Then this oscillation cr...
متن کاملVariational Principles for Eigenvalues of Nonlinear Eigenproblems
Variational principles are very powerful tools when studying self-adjoint linear operators on a Hilbert spaceH. Bounds for eigenvalues, comparison theorems, interlacing results and monotonicity of eigenvalues can be proved easily with these characterizations, to name just a few. In this paper we consider generalization of these principles to families of linear, self-adjoint operators depending ...
