AbstractA theorem is proved giving a condition under which certain standing wave solutions of non-linear Schrödinger-type equations are linearly unstable. The eigenvalue equations for the linearized operator at the standing wave can be analysed by dynamical systems methods. A positive eigenvalue is then shown to exist by means of a shooting argument in the space of Lagrangian planes. The theorem is applied to a situation arising in optical waveguides.

In this paper, the signed graphs with one positive eigenvalue are characterized, and the signed graphs with pendant vertices having exactly two positive eigenvalues are determined. As a consequence, the signed trees, the signed unicyclic graphs and the signed bicyclic graphs having one or two positive eigenvalues are characterized.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective manifold with $\dim _{\mathbb{C}}X=n$. We show that if a line bundle $L$ is $(n-1)$-ample, then it is $(n-1)$-positive. This is a partial converse to the Andreotti–Grauert theorem. As an application, we show that a projective manifold $X$ is uniruled if and only if there exists a Hermitian metric $\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}$ on $X$ such that its Ricci curvature $\text{Ric}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D714})$ has at least one positive eigenvalue everywhere.

The eigenvalue problem referring to a nonhomogeneous semi-infinite strip in plane strain is investigated here, by using the analogous methodology proposed by Papkovich and Fadle in homogeneous plane problem. Two types of nonhomogeneity are considered: (i) the modulus varies with the thickness coordinate exponentially, (ii) it varies with the length coordinate exponentially. The eigenvalues for these two cases are obtained by numerical calculation. By considering the smallest positive eigenvalue, the Saint-Venant Decay rate of the problem is estimated, which indicates material nonhomogeneity can have a significant influence on the Saint-Venant decay rate.
