Abstract: In this paper we are interested in the following fourth order eigenvalue problem coming from the buckling of thin films on liquid substrates: �egin{equation*} �egin{cases} Delta^2 u+ kappa^2 u=-lambda Delta u & ext{in } B_1, ewline u=partial_r u= 0 & ext{on } partial B_1, end{cases} end{equation*} where $B_1$ is the unit ball in $mathbb{R}^N$. When $kappa>0$ is small, we show that the first eigenvalue is simple and the first eigenfunction, which gives the shape of the film for small displacements, is positive. However, when $kappa$ increases, we establish that the first eigenvalue is not always simple and the first eigenfunction may change sign. More precisely, for any $kappain(0,+infty)$, we give the exact multiplicity of the first eigenvalue and the number of nodal regions of the first eigenfunction.
