We consider the class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems where yp* = |y|p sgn y, pi > 0 and p0p1 … pn−1 = r, with various boundary conditions. We prove the existence of eigenvalues and study the zero properties and structure of the corresponding eigenfunctions.

In this paper, we study the global bifurcation of infinity of a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems for fourth-order ordinary differential equations with nondifferentiable nonlinearity. We prove the existence of two families of unbounded continuance of solutions bifurcating at infinity and corresponding to the usual nodal properties near bifurcation intervals.

SynopsisThis paper studies a linked system of second order ordinary differential equationswhere xx ∈ [ar, br] and the coefficients qrars are continuous, real valued and periodic of period (br − ar), 1 ≤ r,s ≤ k. We assume the definiteness condition det{ars(xr)} > 0 and 2k possible multiparameter eigenvalue problems are then formulated according as periodic or semi-periodic boundary conditions are imposed on each of the equations of (*). The main result describes the interlacing of the 2k possible sets of eigentuples thus extending to the multiparameter case the well known theorem concerning 1-parameter periodic equation.

SynopsisThe main result of this paper is to establish the completeness of the eigenfunctions for the multiparameter eigenvalue problem defined by the system of ordinary differential equations0 ≤ x, ≤ 1, r = 1, …, k, subject to the Sturm-Liouville boundary conditionsr = 1, …, k. In addition it is assumed that the coefficients ars of the spectral parameters λs, satisfy the ellipticity condition , s = 1, …, k, for all xrɛ[0, 1], r = 1, …, k, and some real k-tuple μ1, …, μk and where is the co-factor of asr in the determinant . The theory developed here contrasts with the results known when …k is assumed non-vanishing for all xrɛ[0,1].

We are interested in two parameter eigenvalue problems of the formsubject to Dirichlet boundary conditionsThe weight function 5 and the potential q will both be assumed to lie in L2[0,1]. The problem (1.1), (1.2) generates eigencurvesin the sense that for any fixed λ, ν(λ) is the nth eigenvalue ν, (according to oscillation indexing) of (1.1), (1.2). These curves are in fact analytic functions of λ and have been the object of considerable study in recent years. The survey paper [1] provides background in this area and itemises properties of eigencurves.

SynopsisThis paper studies the stability regions associated with the multi-parameter systemwhere the functions qr(xr), ars(xr) are periodic and the system is subjected to periodic or semi-periodic boundary conditions.
