Abstract
We investigate the following Robin eigenvalue problem \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u=\mu u\,\, &\text{in}\,\, B,\\ \partial_\texttt{n} u+\alpha u=0 &\text{on}\,\, \partial B \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} on the unit ball of . We obtain the complete spectral structure of this problem. In particular, for , the first eigenvalue is and the second eigenvalue is , where is the th positive zero of . Moreover, when with any , one has negative (strictly increasing) eigenvalues with where denotes the unique zero of ; while, for , besides negative (increasing) eigenvalues, is also an eigenvalue.
