Some global results for a class of homogeneous nonlocal eigenvalue problems

This paper studies the global bifurcation phenomenon for the following homogeneous nonlocal eigenvalue problem [Formula: see text] Under some natural hypotheses on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we show that [Formula: see text] is a bifurcation point of the nontrivial solution set of the above problem. As application of the above result, we determine the interval of [Formula: see text], in which there exist positive solutions for the following Kirchhoff type problem [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is asymptotically 3-linear at zero and infinity. Our results provide a positive answer to an open problem. Moreover, we also study the spectral structure for a homogeneous nonlocal eigenvalue problem.

Nonlocal eigenvalue problems with variable exponent

We consider the nonlocal eigenvalue problem of the following form$$(\mathcal{P}k)\left\{ {\matrix{ {\mathcal{L}_K^{p(x)}u(x) + {{\left| {u(x)} \right|}^{\bar p(x) - 2}}u(x)} \hfill & = \hfill & {\lambda {{\left| {u(x)} \right|}^{r(x) - 2}}u(x)} \hfill & {in} \hfill & {\Omega ,} \hfill \cr u \hfill & = \hfill & 0 \hfill & {in} \hfill & {{{\rm\mathbb{R}}^N}\backslash \Omega ,} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$where Ω is a smooth open and bounded set in 𝕉N (N ⩾ 3), λ > 0 is a real number, K is a suitable kernel and p, r are two bounded continuous functions on ̄Ω. The main result of this paper establishes that any λ > 0 sufficiently small is an eigenvalue of the above nonhomogeneous nonlocal problem. The proof relies on some variational arguments based on Ekeland's variational principle.

A Nonlocal Eigenvalue Problem and the Stability of Spikes for Reaction–Diffusion Systems with Fractional Reaction Rates

We consider a nonlocal eigenvalue problem which arises in the study of stability of spike solutions for reaction–diffusion systems with fractional reaction rates such as the Sel'kov model, the Gray–Scott system, the hypercycle of Eigen and Schuster, angiogenesis, and the generalized Gierer–Meinhardt system. We give some sufficient and explicit conditions for stability by studying the corresponding nonlocal eigenvalue problem in a new range of parameters.

ON A NONLOCAL EIGENVALUE PROBLEM AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO POINT-CONDENSATIONS IN REACTION–DIFFUSION SYSTEMS

We consider a nonlocal eigenvalue problem which arises in the study of stability of point-condensation solutions in the Gierer–Meinhardt system and generalized Gray–Scott system. We give some sufficient conditions for stability and instability. The conditions are new and can be applied to the study of stability of single point-condensation solutions.
