This paper provides results for eigencurves associated with self-adjoint linear elliptic boundary value problems. The elliptic problems are treated as a general two-parameter eigenproblem for a triple (a, b, m) of continuous symmetric bilinear forms on a real separable Hilbert space. Variational characterizations of the eigencurves associated with (a, b, m) are given and various orthogonality results for corresponding eigenspaces are found. Continuity and differentiability, as well as asymptotic results, for these eigencurves are proved. These results are then used to provide a geometric description of the eigencurves. |
