Asymptotic formulas of the eigenvalues for the linearization of a one-dimensional sinh-Poisson equation (Q6058373)

The authors are concerned with a Neumann problem of a one-dimensional sinh-Poisson equation \[ \begin{cases} u''+\lambda\sinh(u)&=0, \quad 0<x<1, \\ u'(0)=u'(1)&=0, \end{cases} \] where \(\lambda\) is a positive parameter (eigenvalue of the problem). The main result of the paper is about the set of solutions which are constructed. A complete bifurcation diagram of this problem is also obtained. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are obtained by using Jacobi elliptic functions and complete elliptic integrals. The asymptotic behaviour of eigenvalues as \(\lambda\to0\) is derived. The proofs only employ techniques from ODEs.
