Nonlinear eigenvalue problems for fourth order ordinary differential equations

Jolanta Przybycin (1995)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

This paper was inspired by the works of Chiappinelli ([3]) and Schmitt and Smith ([7]). We study the problem ℒu = λau + f(·,u,u',u'',u''') with separated boundary conditions on [0,π], where ℒ is a composition of two operators of Sturm-Liouville type. We assume that the nonlinear perturbation f satisfies the inequality |f(x,u,u',u'',u''')| ≤ M|u|. Because of the presence of f the considered equation does not in general have a linearization about 0. For this reason the global bifurcation...

Bifurcation theorems of Rabinowitz type for certain differential operators of the fourth order

Jolanta Przybycin (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

This paper was inspired by the works of P. H. Rabinowitz. We study nonlinear eigenvalue problems for some fourth order elliptic partial differential equations with nonlinear perturbation of Rabinowitz type. We show the existence of an unbounded continuum of nontrivial positive solutions bifurcating from (μ₁,0), where μ₁ is the first eigenvalue of the linearization about 0 of the considered problem. We also prove the related theorem for bifurcation from infinity. The results obtained...
