The Algebraic Multiplicity of Eigenvalues and the Evans Function Revisited

Y. Latushkin, A. Sukhtayev (2010)

Similarity:

This paper is related to the spectral stability of traveling wave solutions of partial differential equations. In the first part of the paper we use the Gohberg-Rouche Theorem to prove equality of the algebraic multiplicity of an isolated eigenvalue of an abstract operator on a Hilbert space, and the algebraic multiplicity of the eigenvalue of the corresponding Birman-Schwinger type operator pencil. In the second part of the paper we ...

Existence of multiple principal eigenvalues for some indefinite linear eigenvalue problems

J. Fleckinger, J. Hernández, F. Thélin (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We study the existence of principal eigenvalues for differential operators of second order which are not necessarily in divergence form. We obtain results concerning multiplicity of principal eigenvalues in both the variational and the general case. Our approach uses systematically the Krein-Rutman theorem and fixed point arguments for the spectral radius of some associated problems. We also use a variational characterization for both the self-adjoint and the general case.
