Eigenvalue, eigenfunction, functional boundary condition, Birkhoff-Kellogg theoremAbstract
We discuss the existence of eigenvalues for a third order boundary value problem subject to functional boundary conditions and higher order derivative dependence in the nonlinearities. We prove the existence of positive and negative eigenvalues and provide a localization of the corresponding eigenfunctions in terms of their norm. The methodology involves a version of the classical Birkhoff-Kellogg theorem. We illustrate the applicability of the theoretical results in an example.References
