The author deals with nonlinear multiparameter problems \[ u''(x)+{N- 1\over x} u'(x)+ \sum^n_{k= 1} \mu_kf_k(u(x))= \lambda g(u(x)),\quad 0< x<1,\tag{1} \] \[ u(x)>0,\quad 0\leq x<1,\quad u'(0)= 0,\quad u(1)= 0,\tag{2} \] where \(N\geq 3\) and \(\mu= (\mu_1,\mu_2,\dots, \mu_n)\in \mathbb{R}^n_+\) \((n\geq 1)\) and \(\lambda\in\mathbb{R}_+\) are parameters. The functions \(f_k(g)\) are supposed to be locally Lipschitz continuous, odd and nonnegative (positive) on the positive half-line. The author studies asymptotic formulas for the variational eigenvalues \(\lambda= \lambda(\mu, \alpha)\) obtained by Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory with the positive parameter \(\alpha\). He extends an asymptotic formula by \textit{T. Shibata} [J. Anal. Math. 66, 277-294 (1995; Zbl 0844.34092)] which was derived for a simpler case of (1) with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
