Abstract

In this paper we consider generalized eigenvalue problems for a family of operators with a quadratic dependence on a complex parameter. Our model is L(λ)=-\triangle +(P(x)-λ)2 in L2(\Rd) where P is a positive elliptic polynomial in \Rd of degree m≥ 2. It is known that for d even, or d=1, or d=3 and m≥ 6, there exist λ∈\C and u∈ L2(\Rd), u≠ 0, such that L(λ)u=0. In this paper, we give a method to prove existence of non trivial solutions for the equation L(λ)u=0, valid in every dimension. This is a partial answer to a conjecture in \citeherowa.
