Abstract:
An abstract eigenvalue comparison theorem is proven for ${u_0}$-positive linear operators in a Banach space equippped with a cone of “nonnegative” elements. This result is then applied to certain linear differential equations of order 2n in order to obtain eigenvalue comparison theorems of an “integral type."References
