Solvability of a nonlinear second order conjugate eigenvalue problem on a time scale

Abstract

We consider the nonlinear second order conjugate eigenvalue problem on a time scale: y ΔΔ(t)+λa(t)f(y(σ(t)))=0,t∈[0,1],y(0)=0=y(σ(1)) . Values of the parameter λ (eigenvalues) are determined for which this problem has a positive solution. The methods used here extend recent results by allowing for a broader class of functions for a(t).
