Abstract:
We show that many results about the eigenvalues and
eigenfunctions of a quasilinear elliptic equation
in the non-singular case can be extended to the singular case.
Among these results, we have the first eigenvalue is associated
to a
eigenfunction which is positive and
unique (up to a multiplicative constant), that is, the first
eigenvalue is simple. Moreover the first eigenvalue is isolated
and is the unique positive eigenvalue associated to a non-negative
eigenfunction. We also prove some variational properties of the
second eigenvalue.
