To characterize the complete structure of the Fučík spectrum of the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian on higher dimensional domains is a long-standing problem. In this paper, we study the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian with integrable potentials on an interval under the Dirichlet or the Neumann boundary conditions. Based on the strong continuity and continuous differentiability of solutions in potentials, we will give a comprehensive characterization of the corresponding Fučík spectra: each of them is composed of two trivial lines and a double-sequence of differentiable, strictly decreasing, hyperbolic-like curves; all asymptotic lines of these spectral curves are precisely described by using eigenvalues of the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian with potentials; and moreover, all these spectral curves have strong continuity in potentials, i.e. as potentials vary in the weak topology, these spectral curves are continuously dependent on potentials in a certain sense.

SynopsisIn the first part of the paper a variational characterisation of the periodic eigenvalues (the so-called Fučik spectrum) of a semilinear, positive homogeneous Sturm–Liouville equation is given. The proof relies on the S1-invariance of the equation.In the second part a nonlinear Sturm–Liouville equation with, typically, an exponential nonlinearity is considered. It is proved that under certain conditions this equation is solvable for arbitrary forcing terms. The proof uses a comparison of the minimax levels of the functional associated to this equation with suitable values in the Fučik spectrum.
