The Fučík spectrum of the Laplacian under mixed boundary conditions is defined as the set \(\sum'\) of those \((\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb R^2\) such that \[ -\Delta u = \alpha u^+ - \beta u^- \quad \text{in} \;\Omega,\qquad u=0 \text{ on} \;\Gamma_1,\quad \partial u/\partial n = 0 \text{ on }\Gamma_2 \] has a non-trivial solution \(u\). Here \(\partial/\partial n\) denotes the exterior normal derivative. In this paper a curve in the \(\alpha\beta\) plane is constructed which belongs to \(\sum'\) and which generalizes the second eigenvalue of the Laplacian subject to the mixed boundary conditions.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 0873.00023].
