On the resonance set in a fourth-order equation with jumping nonlinearity (Q1848280)

The authors give a geometric understanding of the Fučík spectrum of several fourth-order problems. This investigation was suggested by \textit{S. Fučík} [Solvability of Nonlinear Equations and boundary value problems, Reidel, Dordrecht (1980; Zbl 0453.47035)], where it is asked to give a description of this set. The situation resembles the known cases of second-order equations, where analytic branches bifurcate from the eigenvalues in the diagonal.
