The author proves some properties for the nonlinear spectrum \(\sigma(f)\) and semilinear spectrum \(\sigma(L,N)\) when \(f\) and \(N\) are asymptotically linear or positively homogeneous, thus close to a linear operator. The results generalize a previous result which required \(N\) to be a linear operator and \(L\) to be the identity map. Applying the theorems, the author proves a result on the existence of a positive eigenvalue and eigenvector for a compact, positive operator. Examples of applications to the study of a three-point boundary value problem are also given. This extends and complements previous work by the author [ibid. 30, No.~8, 5369--5374 (1997; Zbl 0895.34014), Nonlinear Funct. Anal. Appl. 8, No.~4, 51--533 (2003; Zbl 1061.47046)], by the author and \textit{J. Webb} [Prog. Nonlinear Differ. Equ. Appl. 40, 149--163 (2000; Zbl 0952.47048)], and by \textit{E. De Pasade, A. Vignoli} and the reviewer [Z. Anal. Anwend. 20, No.~3, 565--577 (2001; Zbl 1002.47041)].
