Asymptotic Behavior of Solution to Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problem

Abstract

We study the following nonlinear eigenvalue problem: −u″(t)=λf(u(t)),u(t)>0,t∈I:=(−1,1),u(±1)=0, where f(u)=log(1+u) and λ>0 is a parameter. Then λ is a continuous function of α>0, where α is the maximum norm α=∥uλ∥∞ of the solution uλ associated with λ. We establish the precise asymptotic formula for L1-norm of the solution ∥uα∥1 as α→∞ up to the second term and propose a numerical approach to obtain the asymptotic expansion formula for ∥uα∥1.
