Extract

Linked equations of the form

are studied on a bounded smooth domain in RN for λ ∈ R2. Existence and uniqueness of solutions are discussed for fi homogeneous of order p – 1 in ui, generalising the ‘Klein Oscillation Theorem’ when p = 2, N = 1. Bifurcation from the principal eigenvalue is also considered for nonhomogeneous perturbations fi of order greater than p – 1.
