Bifurcation of Positive Solutions for Nonlinear Nonhomogeneous Robin and Neumann Problems with Competing Nonlinearities

In this paper we deal with Robin and Neumann parametric elliptic equations driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator and with a reaction that exhibits competing nonlinearities (concave-convex nonlinearities). For the Robin problem and without employing the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, we prove a bifurcation theorem for the positive solutions for small values of the parameter λ > 0. F...

Two-parametric nonlinear eigenvalue problems

Eigenvalue problems of the form x′′ = −λf(x) + μg(x−), (i), x(0) = 0, x(1) = 0, (ii) are considered, where x and x− are the positive and negative parts of x respectively. We are looking for (λ, μ) such that the problem (i), (ii) has a nontrivial solution. This problem generalizes the famous Fuč́ık problem for piece-wise linear equations. In our considerations functions f and g may be nonlinear f...

Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems: A Challenge for Modern Eigenvalue Methods

We discuss the state of the art in numerical solution methods for large scale polynomial or rational eigenvalue problems. We present the currently available solution methods such as the Jacobi-Davidson, Arnoldi or the rational Krylov method and analyze their properties. We briefly introduce a new linearization technique and demonstrate how it can be used to improve structure preservation and wi...
