The Fučík spectrum for one dimensional Kreĭn-Feller operators (Q6040027)

The authors study the Fučík spectrum of one-dimensional Krein-Feller operators in \([0,1]\), i.e., the pairs \((\alpha,\beta) \in \mathbb{R}^2\) for which there exists a function \(u\) from a certain Sobolev type space \(\mathcal{D}^{1,2}_{0,\mu}\) satisfying \[ \int_0^1 u'(x) \varphi'(x) \,dx = \int_0^1 m(x) (\alpha u^+(x) - \beta u^-(x)) \varphi(x) d \mu(x) \] for any \(\varphi \in C^1_0(0,1)\). Here, \(\mu\) is a Borel, non-atomic, probability measure supported in a closed set \(K_\mu \subset [0, 1]\), and \(m\) is a continuous weight. Using the classical critical point theory, the authors variationally characterize infinitely many curves in the Fučík spectrum, show that they are Lipschitz continuous and decreasing, and provide constructive lowers bounds for them.
