A pathological example in Nonlinear Spectral Theory

Abstract

We construct an open set ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N on which an eigenvalue problem for the pp-Laplacian has not isolated first eigenvalue and the spectrum is not discrete. The same example shows that the usual Lusternik-Schnirelmann minimax construction does not exhaust the whole spectrum of this eigenvalue problem.
