AbstractWe study a system of quasilinear eigenvalue problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions on complete compact Riemannian manifolds. In particular, Cheng comparison estimates and the inequality of Faber–Krahn for the first eigenvalue of a {(p,q)}-Laplacian are recovered. Lastly, we reprove a Cheeger-type estimate for the p-Laplacian, {1<p<\infty}, from where a lower bound estimate in terms of Cheeger’s constant for the first eigenvalue of a {(p,q)}-Laplacian is built. As a corollary, the first eigenvalue converges to Cheeger’s constant as {p,q\to 1,1}.

AbstractWe show a Lichnerowicz-Obata type estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian of n-dimensional closed Riemannian manifolds with an almost parallel p-form ($$2\le p \le n/2$$ 2 ≤ p ≤ n / 2 ) in $$L^2$$ L 2 -sense, and give a Gromov-Hausdorff approximation to a product $$S^{n-p}\times X$$ S n - p × X under some pinching conditions when $$2\le p<n/2$$ 2 ≤ p < n / 2 .

We prove the existence of (a pair of) least energy sign changing solutions of [Formula: see text] when Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN, N = 5 and λ is slightly smaller than λ1, the first eigenvalue of -Δ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on Ω.

In this paper we study a nonlinear hemivariational inequality involving the p-Laplacian. Our approach is variational and uses a recent nonsmooth Linking Theorem, due to Kourogenis and Papageorgiou (2000). The use of the Linking Theorem instead of the Mountain Pass Theorem allows us to assume an asymptotic behaviour of the generalised potential function which goes beyond the principal eigenvalue of the negative p-Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

AbstractWe investigate minimization and maximization of the principal eigenvalue of the Laplacian under Dirichlet boundary conditions in case the weight has indefinite sign and varies in a class of rearrangements. Biologically, such optimization problems are motivated by the question of determining the most convenient spatial arrangement of favorable and unfavorable resources for a species to survive or to decline. The question may have practical importance in the context of reserve design or pest control.

By using the mountain pass lemma, we study the existence of positive solutions for the equation−Δu(x)=λ(u|u|+u)(x)forx∈Ωtogether with Dirichlet boundary conditions and show that for everyλ<λ1, whereλ1is the first eigenvalue of−Δu=λuinΩwith the Dirichlet boundary conditions, the equation has a positive solution while no positive solution exists forλ≥λ1.

AbstractThe authors establish the existence of at least three solutions to a quasilinear elliptic problem subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$. A critical point result for differentiable functionals is used to prove the results.
