Review text

The boundary value problem \[ (-1)^{n-p} y^{(n)}= \lambda F(t,y,y',\dots, y^{(p)}), \quad t\in (0,1),\tag{1} \] \[ y^{(i)}(0)= 0,\quad i= 0,\dots, p-1, \qquad y^{(i)}(1)= 0, \quad i= p,\dots,n- 1,\tag{2} \] is studied with \(n= 2\), \(\lambda>0\) is a parameter and \(p\) is a fixed integer satisfying \(1\leq p\leq n-1\). If there exists a positive solution \(y\) to (1), (2), then the corresponding (positive) \(\lambda\) is called an eigenvalue and \(y\) is an eigenfunction. The authors show that under some conditions the set of all eigenvalues is an interval and they find conditions under which this interval is \((0,\infty)\). The existence statements are based on the fact that the corresponding Green function has a positive sign and are derived by means of Schauder and Krasnosel'skij fixed point theorems.
