On the principal eigenvalue of elliptic operators in $\R^N$ and applications
Journal of the European Mathematical Society, Tome 8 (2006) no. 2, pp. 195-215
Two generalizations of the notion of principal eigenvalue for elliptic operators in RN are examined in this paper. We prove several results comparing these two eigenvalues in various settings: general operators in dimension one; self-adjoint operators; and “limit periodic” operators. These results apply to questions of existence and uniqueness for some semi-linear problems in all of space. We also indicate several outstanding open problems and formulate some conjectures.
