A result about imbedded eigenvalues in the operator valued Friedrichs model
Transport phenomena of minority carriers in quasi neutral regions of heavily doped semiconductors are considered for the case of one-dimensional stationary flow and their study is reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, the kernel and the known term of which are built from known functions of the doping arbitrarily distributed in space. The advantage of the method consists, among other things, in having all the coefficients of the differential equations and of the boundary conditions...
Using the min-plus version of the spectral radius formula, one proves: 1) that the unique eigenvalue of a min-plus eigenvalue problem depends continuously on parameters involved in the kernel defining the problem; 2) that the numerical method introduced by Chou and Griffiths to compute this eigenvalue converges. A toolbox recently developed at I.n.r.i.a. helps to illustrate these results. Frenkel-Kontorova models serve as example. The analogy with homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations is emphasized....
