Abstract

We study the existence of eigenvalue intervals for the second-order differential equation on a measure chain, xΔΔ (t) + λp(t)f(xσ(t)) = 0, t ∈ [t1, t2], satisfying the boundary conditions αx(t1) - βxΔ(t1) = 0 and γx(σ(t2)) + δxΔ(σ(t2)) = 0, where f is a positive function and p a nonnegative function that is allowed to vanish on some subintervals of [t1, σ(t2)] of the measure chain. The methods involve applications of a fixed point theorem for operators on a cone in a Banach space.
