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.

A remark on quasilinear elliptic variational inequalities with discontinuous coefficients

Similarity:

This Note contains the following remark on a recent result by Boccardo and Buttazzo: under the same assumptions, a stronger conclusion, concerning the solvability of variational inequalities, can be obtained.
