Monotonicity of the principal eigenvalue related to a non-isotropic vibrating string

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a parametric eigenvalue problem related to a vibrating string which is constructed out of two different materials. Using elementary analysis we show that the corresponding principal eigenvalue is increasing with respect to the parameter. Using a rearrangement technique we recapture a part of our main result, in case the difference between the densities of the two materials is sufficiently small. Finally, a simple numerical algorithm will be presented which will...

A nonlinear eigenvalue problem with indefinite weights related to the Sobolev trace embedding.

Julián Fernández Bonder, Julio D. Rossi (2002)

Similarity:

In this paper we study the Sobolev trace embedding W(Ω) → L (∂Ω), where V is an indefinite weight. This embedding leads to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem where the eigenvalue appears at the (nonlinear) boundary condition. We prove that there exists a sequence of variational eigenvalues λ / +∞ and then show that the first eigenvalue is isolated, simple and monotone with respect to the weight. Then we prove a nonexistence result related to the first eigenvalue and we end...
