Two-parameter nonlinear Sturm-Liouville problems

From MaRDI portal





Two-parameter nonlinear Sturm-Liouville problems are considered \[ -u(x)=\mu u(x)-\lambda \{ u(x)^p +f(u(x))\}, \quad x\in (0,1), \] \[ u(x)\geq 0,\quad u(0)=u(1)=0,\quad u\in W^{1,2}_0(0,1), \] with \(p>1, \mu>\pi^2, \lambda>0\) and \(f\) is a real-valued increasing odd and locally Lipschitz continuous function on \(\mathbb{R}\). So-called variational eigenvalues \(\lambda (\mu , \alpha)\) are considered which were developed by \textit{E. Zeidler} [Math. Nachr. 129, 235-259 (1986; Zbl 0608.58014)]. Here, \(\alpha\geq 0\) is the parameter involved in the condition \[ \int^1_0(u'(x)^2-\mu u(x)^2)dx=-2\alpha. \] Simple conditions are obtained sufficient for existence and continuity of \(\lambda(\mu)\) for \(\mu>\pi^2\) and fixed \(\alpha>0\). The asymptotic behaviour of the variational eigenvalues is investigated and that of the corresponding ``eigenfunctions at \(\mu \rightarrow \pi^2\) and fixed \(\alpha >0\) as well as for \(\mu \rightarrow \infty\).
