Abstract:
In this work, we study an eigenvalue problem for the infinity-Laplacian
on bounded domains. We prove the existence of the principal eigenvalue
and a corresponding positive eigenfunction. This work also contains
existence results, related to this problem, when a parameter
is less than the first eigenvalue.
A comparison principle applicable to these problems is also proven.
Some additional results are shown, in particular, that on star-shaped
domains and on C^2 domains higher eigenfunctions change sign.
When the domain is a ball, we prove that the first eigenfunction has
one sign, radial principal eigenfunction exist and are unique up to
scalar multiplication, and that there are infinitely many eigenvalues.
