Radial Solutions To Semipositone Dirichlet Problems, Ethan Sargent Jan 2019

Radial Solutions To Semipositone Dirichlet Problems, Ethan Sargent

HMC Senior Theses

We study a Dirichlet problem, investigating existence and uniqueness for semipositone and superlinear nonlinearities. We make use of Pohozaev identities, energy arguments, and bifurcation from a simple eigenvalue.


Eigenvalues And Approximation Numbers, Ryan Chakmak Jan 2019

Eigenvalues And Approximation Numbers, Ryan Chakmak

CMC Senior Theses

While the spectral theory of compact operators is known to many, knowledge regarding the relationship between eigenvalues and approximation numbers might be less known. By examining these numbers in tandem, one may develop a link between eigenvalues and l^p spaces. In this paper, we develop the background of this connection with in-depth examples.
