Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of fourth-order weighted polynomial operator

Δ2 u -a Δu +b uρu,     in Ω (  Rn,
u|∂Ω=∂u/∂ν|∂Ω =0,
where the constants a, b ≥0. We obtain some estimates for the upper bounds of the (k+1)-th eigenvalue Λk+1in terms of the first k eigenvalues. Moreover, these results contain some results for the biharmonic operator.

Key words: eigenvalue, polynomial operator, biharmonic operator
