Spectral asymptotics for nonlinear multiparameter problems with indefinite nonlinearities (Q4515375)

The nonlinear multiparameter problem of the form \[ u''(x)+\sum _{k=1}^n\mu _kf_k(x,u(x))=\lambda g(x,u(x)),\quad x\in (-1,1), \] \[ u(x)>0,\quad x\in (-1,1), \qquad u(-1)=u(1)=0, \] is considered, with \(\mu =(\mu _1,\mu _2,\dots ,\mu _{i-1},\mu _{i},\dots , \mu _{n})\in \overline {\mathbb{R}}_+^{i-1}\times \mathbb{R}_+^{n-i+1}\), \(\lambda \in \mathbb{R}\) and \(\overline {\mathbb{R}}_+ =[0,\infty)\), \({\mathbb{R}}_+ =(0,\infty)\). The effects of nonlinearities changing sign on the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues is studied. An asymptotic formula for eigenvalues is presented as main result.
