SynopsisLet T, V1,…, Vk denote compact symmetric linear operators on a separable Hilbert space H, and write W(λ) = T + λ1V1 + … + λkVk, λ = (λ1, …, λk) ϵ ℝk. We study conditions on the conerelated to solubility of the multiparameter eigenvalue problemwith W(λ)−I nonpositive definite. The main result is as follows.Theorem. If 0 ∉ V, then (*) is soluble for any T. If 0 ∈ V, then there exists T such that (*) is insoluble.We also deduce analogous results for problems involving self-adjoint operators with compact resolvent.

We shall consider a multiparameter eigenvalue problem of the form(1.1)where λ ∈ Rk while Tn and Vn(λ) are self-adjoint linear operators on a Hilbert space Hn. If λ = (λ1, …, λk) ∈ Rk and satisfy (1.1) then we call λ an eigenvalue, x an eigenvector and (λ, x) an eigenpair. While our main thrust is towTards the general case of several parameters λn, the method ultimately involves reduction to a sequence of one parameter problems. Our chief contributions are (i) to generalise the conditions under which this reduction is possible, and (ii) to develop methods for the one parameter problem particularly suited to the multiparameter application. For example, we give rather general results on the magnitude and direction of the movement of non-linear eigenvalues under perturbation.

SynopsisWe discuss necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of eigentuples λ=(λl,λ2) and eigenvectors x1≠0, x2≠0 for the problem Wr(λ)xr = 0, Wr(λ)≧0, (*), where Wr(λ)= Tr + λ1Vr2, r=1,2. Here Tr and Vrs are self-adjoint operators on separable Hilbert spaces Hr. We assume the Vrs to be bounded and the Tr bounded below with compact resolvent. Most of our conditions involve the conesWe obtain results under various conditions on the Tr, but the following is typical:THEOREM. If (*) has a solution for all choices ofT1, T2then (a)0∉ V1UV2,(b)V1∩(—V2) =∅ and (c) V1⊂V2∪{0}, V2⊈V1∪{0}. Conversely, if (a) and (b) hold andV1⊈V2∪∩{0}, V2⊈ then (*) has a solution for all choices ofT1, T2.

AbstractThe relationships between various notions of completeness of eigenvectors and root vectors of the eigenvalue problem $Af=\lambda Bf$ are investigated.

SynopsisThis paper studies two particular cases of the general 2-parameter eigenvalue problem namelywhere A, B, B1, B2, C, C1, C2 are self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space, all except A being bounded. The disposable parameters λ and μ have to be determined so that the equations have non-trivial solutions x, y.On the assumption that the solution is known for ∊ = o, solutions are constructed in the form of series for λ, μ, x, y as power series in ∊ with finite radius of convergence.

SynopsisConsider the multiparameter systemwhere ut is an element of a separable Hilbert space Hi, i = 1, …, n. The operators Sij are assumed to be bounded symmetric operators in Hi and Ai is assumed self-adjoint. In addition consider the operator equationwhere B is densely defined and closed in a separable Hilbert space H and Tj, j = 1, …, n is a bounded operator in H. The problem treated in this paper is to seek an expression for a solution v of (**) in terms of the eigenfunctions of the system (*).

Results are given for the asymptotic spectrum of a multiparameter eigenvalue problem in Hilbert space. They are based on estimates for eigenvalues derived from the minim un-maximum principle. As an application, a multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problem is considered.

SynopsisWe consider eigenvalues λ =(λ1, λ2) ∈R2 for the problem W(λ)x = 0, x ≠ 0, x ∈ H, where W(λ) = R + λ1V1 + λ2V2), and R, V1, V2 are self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space H, R being bounded below with compact resolvent and V1, V2 being bounded. The i-th eigencurve Z1 is the set of eigenvalues λ, for which the i-th eigenvalue (counted according to multiplicity and in increasing order) of W(λ) vanishes. We study monotonic and asymptotic properties of Zi, and we give formulae for any asymptotes that exist. Additional results are given in the finite dimensional case.

Let n≧1 be an integer and suppose that for each i= 1,…,n, we have a Hilbert space Hi and a set of bounded linear operators Ti, Vij:Hi→Hi, j=1,…,n. We define the system of operatorswhere λ=(λ1,…,λn)∈ℂn. Coupled systems of the form (1.1) are called multiparameter systems and the spectral theory of such systems has been studied in many recent papers. Most of the literature on multiparameter theory deals with the case where the operators Ti and Vij are self-adjoint (see [14]). The non self-adjoint case, which has received relatively little attention, is discussed in [12] and [13].
