Estimates for the first eigenvalue of the one-dimensional $p$-Laplacian

Abstract

In the present paper, we study the first eigenvalue $\lambda(p)$ of the one-dimensional $p$-Laplacian in the interval $(-1,1)$. We give an upper and lower estimate of $\lambda(p)$ and study its asymptotic behavior as $p \to 1+0$ or $p \to \infty$.
