AbstractWe study the generalized eigenvalue problem in {\mathbb{R}^{N}} for a general convex nonlinear elliptic operator which is locally elliptic and positively 1-homogeneous. Generalizing [H. Berestycki and L. Rossi, Generalizations and properties of the principal eigenvalue of elliptic operators in unbounded domains, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 68 2015, 6, 1014–1065], we consider three different notions of generalized eigenvalues and compare them. We also discuss the maximum principles and uniqueness of principal eigenfunctions.

AbstractThis paper characterizes whether or not\Sigma_{\infty}\equiv\lim_{\lambda\uparrow\infty}\sigma[\mathcal{P}+\lambda m(% x,t),\mathfrak{B},Q_{T}]is finite, where {m\gneq 0} is T-periodic and {\sigma[\mathcal{P}+\lambda m(x,t),\mathfrak{B},Q_{T}]} stands for the principal eigenvalue of the parabolic operator {\mathcal{P}+\lambda m(x,t)} in {Q_{T}\equiv\Omega\times[0,T]} subject to a general boundary operator of mixed type, {\mathfrak{B}}, on {\partial\Omega\times[0,T]}. Then this result is applied to discuss the nature of the territorial refuges in periodic competitive environments.

AbstractWe consider a Robin problem driven by the (p, q)-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential term. The reaction is either resonant with respect to the principal eigenvalue or $$(p-1)$$ ( p - 1 ) -superlinear but without satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. For both cases we show that the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions ordered and with sign information. When $$q=2$$ q = 2 (a (p, 2)-equation), we show that we can slightly improve the conclusions of the two multiplicity theorems.

Let D ⊂ Rd be a bounded domain and let [Formula: see text] denote the space of probability measures on D. Consider a Brownian motion in D which is killed at the boundary and which, while alive, jumps instantaneously according to a spatially dependent exponential clock with intensity γV to a new point, according to a distribution [Formula: see text]. From its new position after the jump, the process repeats the above behavior independently of what has transpired previously. The generator of this process is an extension of the operator -Lγ,μ, defined by [Formula: see text] with the Dirichlet boundary condition, where Cμ is the "μ-centering" operator defined by [Formula: see text] The principal eigenvalue, λ0(γ, μ), of Lγ, μ governs the exponential rate of decay of the probability of not exiting D for large time. We study the asymptotic behavior of λ0(γ, μ) as γ → ∞. In particular, if μ possesses a density in a neighborhood of the boundary, which we call μ, then [Formula: see text] If μ and all its derivatives up to order k - 1 vanish on the boundary, but the kth derivative does not vanish identically on the boundary, then λ0(γ, μ) behaves asymptotically like [Formula: see text], for an explicit constant ck.

We give a criterion for extinction or local extinction of branching symmetric α-stable processes in terms of the principal eigenvalue for time-changed processes of symmetric α-stable processes. Here the branching rate and the branching mechanism are spatially dependent. In particular, the branching rate is allowed to be singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We apply this criterion to some branching processes.

The purpose of this short paper is to give a variation on the classical Donsker–Varadhan inequality, which bounds the first eigenvalue of a second-order elliptic operator on a bounded domain Ω by the largest mean first exit time of the associated drift–diffusion process via λ 1 ≥ 1 sup x ∈ Ω E x τ Ω c . Instead of looking at the mean of the first exit time, we study quantiles: let d p , ∂ Ω : Ω → R ≥ 0 be the smallest time t such that the likelihood of exiting within that time is p , then λ 1 ≥ log ( 1 / p ) sup x ∈ Ω d p , ∂ Ω ( x ) . Moreover, as p → 0 , this lower bound converges to λ 1 .

In the small diffusion limit ε→0, metastable dynamics is studied for the generalized Burgers problemformula hereHere u=u(x, t) and f(u) is smooth, convex, and satisfies f(0)=f′(0)=0. The choice f(u)=u2/2 has been shown previously to arise in connection with the physical problem of upward flame-front propagation in a vertical channel in a particular parameter regime. In this context, the shape y=y(x, t) of the flame-front interface satisfies u=−yx. For this problem, it is shown that the principal eigenvalue associated with the linearization around an equilibrium solution corresponding to a parabolic-shaped flame-front interface is exponentially small. This exponentially small eigenvalue then leads to a metastable behaviour for the time- dependent problem. This behaviour is studied quantitatively by deriving an asymptotic ordinary differential equation characterizing the slow motion of the tip location of a parabolic-shaped interface. Similar metastability results are obtained for more general f(u). These asymptotic results are shown to compare very favourably with full numerical computations.
