AbstractWe study the eigenvalue problem $\(-\sum_{i=1}^N\di\partial_{x_i}(|\di\partial_{x_i}u |^{p_i(x)-2}\di\partial_{x_i}u)$ = λ|u|q(x)−2u in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN with smooth boundary ∂Ω, λ is a positive real number, and p1,⋅ ⋅ ⋅, pN, q are continuous functions satisfying the following conditions: 2 ≤ pi(x) < N, 1 < q(x) for all x ∈ Ω, i ∈ {1,. . .,N}; there exist j, k ∈ {1,. . .,N}, j ≠ k, such that pj ≡ q in Ω, q is independent of xj and maxΩq < minΩpk. The main result of this paper establishes the existence of two positive constants λ0 and λ1 with λ0 ≤ λ1 such that every λ ∈(λ1, ∞) is an eigenvalue, while no λ ∈ (0, λ0) can be an eigenvalue of the above problem.

We study the boundary value problem - div ((a1(|∇ u|) + a2(|∇ u|))∇ u) = λ|u|q(x)-2u in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN (N ≥ 3) with smooth boundary, λ is a positive real number, q is a continuous function and a1, a2 are two mappings such that a1(|t|)t, a2(|t|)t are increasing homeomorphisms from ℝ to ℝ. We establish the existence of two positive constants λ0 and λ1 with λ0 ≤ λ1 such that any λ ∈ [λ1, ∞) is an eigenvalue, while any λ ∈ (0, λ0) is not an eigenvalue of the above problem.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem: $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \begin{cases} {\it\Delta}(|{\it\Delta} u|^{p(x)-2}{\it\Delta} u)= \lambda \frac{|u|^{q(x)-2}u}{{\delta(x)}^{2q(x)}} \;\; \mbox{in}\;\; {\it\Omega}, \\ u\in W_0^{2,p(x)}({\it\Omega}), \end{cases} \end{array}$$ where Ω is a regular bounded domain of ℝN, δ(x) = dist(x, ∂Ω) the distance function from the boundary ∂Ω, λ is a positive real number, and functions p(⋅), q(⋅) are supposed to be continuous on Ω satisfying $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle 1 \lt \min_{\overline{{\it\Omega} }}\,q\leq \max_{\overline{{\it\Omega}}}\,q \lt \min_{\overline{{\it\Omega} }}\,p \leq \max_{\overline{{\it\Omega}}}\,p \lt \frac{N}{2} \mbox{ and } \max_{\overline{{\it\Omega}}}\,q \lt p_2^*:= \frac{Np(x)}{N-2p(x)} \end{array}$$ for any x ∈ Ω. We prove the existence of at least one non-decreasing sequence of positive eigenvalues. Moreover, we prove that sup Λ = +∞, where Λ is the spectrum of the problem. Furthermore, we give a proof of positivity of inf Λ > 0 provided that Hardy-Rellich inequality holds.

Let Ω ⊂ ℝN (N ≥ 2) be a bounded domain with smooth boundary. We show the existence of a positive real number λ* such that for each λ ∈ (0, λ*) and each real number p > N the equation −Δp u = λeu in Ω subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition possesses a nonnegative solution up. Next, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of up as p → ∞ and we show that it converges uniformly to the distance function to the boundary of the domain.

In this paper, the minimization problem [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is studied when [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) is an open, bounded, convex domain with smooth boundary and [Formula: see text]. We show that [Formula: see text] is either zero, when the maximum of the distance function to the boundary of [Formula: see text] is greater than [Formula: see text], or it is a positive real number, when the maximum of the distance function to the boundary of [Formula: see text] belongs to the interval [Formula: see text]. In the latter case, we provide estimates for [Formula: see text] and show that for [Formula: see text] sufficiently large [Formula: see text] coincides with the principal frequency of the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian in [Formula: see text]. Some particular cases and related problems are also discussed.

In this paper, we consider an eigenvalue problem for an anisotropic elliptic equation with indefinite weight, in which the differential operator involves partial derivatives with different variable exponents. Under some suitable conditions on the growth rates of the anisotropic coefficients involved in the problem, we prove some results on the existence and non-existence of a continuous family of eigenvalues by using variational methods.

There are various methods of finding the square roots of positive real number. This paper deals with finding the principle square root of positive real numbers by using Lagrange’s and Newton’s interpolation method. The interpolation method is the process of finding the values of unknown quantity (y) between two known quantities.

AbstractUsing the Ljusternik–Schnirelmann principle and a new variational technique, we prove that the following Steklov eigenvalue problem has infinitely many positive eigenvalue sequences:\left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle\operatorname{div}(a(x,\nabla u))=0&&% \displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\Omega,\\ &\displaystyle a(x,\nabla u)\cdot\nu=\lambda m(x)|u|^{p(x)-2}u&&\displaystyle% \phantom{}\text{on }\partial\Omega,\end{aligned}\right.where {\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}}{(N\geq 2)} is a bounded domain of smooth boundary {\partial\Omega} and ν is the outward unit normal vector on {\partial\Omega}. The functions {m\in L^{\infty}(\partial\Omega)}, {p\colon\overline{\Omega}\mapsto\mathbb{R}} and {a\colon\overline{\Omega}\times\mathbb{R}^{N}\mapsto\mathbb{R}^{N}} satisfy appropriate conditions.

The aim of this paper is to study the solvability of the following problem, [Formula: see text] where (-Δ)s, with s ∈ (0, 1), is a fractional power of the positive operator -Δ, Ω ⊂ ℝN, N > 2s, is a Lipschitz bounded domain such that 0 ∈ Ω, μ is a positive real number, λ < ΛN,s, the sharp constant of the Hardy–Sobolev inequality, 0 < q < 1 and [Formula: see text], with αλ a parameter depending on λ and satisfying [Formula: see text]. We will discuss the existence and multiplicity of solutions depending on the value of p, proving in particular that p(λ, s) is the threshold for the existence of solution to problem (Pμ).

AbstractDiversities are a generalization of metric spaces which associate a positive real number to every finite subset of the space. In this paper, we introduce ultradiversities which are themselves simultaneously diversities and a sort of generalization of ultrametric spaces. We also give the notion of spherical completeness for ultradiversities based on the balls defined in such spaces. In particular, with the help of nonexpansive mappings defined between ultradiversities, we show that an ultradiversity is spherically complete if and only if it is injective.

This paper demonstrates how a simple ballot theorem leads, through the interjection of a queuing process, to the solution of a problem in the theory of random graphs connected with a study of polymers in chemistry. Let Γn(p) denote a random graph with n vertices in which any two vertices, independently of the others, are connected by an edge with probability p where 0 < p < 1. Denote by ρ n(s) the number of vertices in the union of all those components of Γn(p) which contain at least one vertex of a given set of s vertices. This paper is concerned with the determination of the distribution of ρ n(s) and the limit distribution of ρ n(s) as n → ∞and ρ → 0 in such a way that np → a where a is a positive real number.
