Abstract:
In connection with a problem posed by S. Ahmad and A. C. Lazer, we show the existence of a class of nonselfadjoint eigenvalue problems related to the equation ${y^{(n)}} + \lambda p(x)y = 0$ for which the general eigenvalues comparison is not true. We use a comparison principle for the zeros of the corresponding Cauchy problem.References
