An eigenvalue result for Neumann BVPs with functional terms

Abstract

We study the existence and localization of eigenvalue-eigenfunction pairs for parameter-dependent Neumann BVPs with a functional term. By reformulating the problems as a Hammerstein integral equation, we apply an existence and localization result and propose a convergent fixed-point iteration scheme. Finally, two pseudocodes and a MATLAB implementation are provided to numerically approximate the eigenvalues and validate the theoretical localization bounds. We also illustrate an approximation of the eigenfunctions for a fixed norm.
