Abstract

We provide a complete proof that there are no nontrivial eigenvalues of the integral operator Kl\mathcal{K}_l outside the interval (0,1/k)(0,1/k). Kl\mathcal{K}_l arises naturally from the deflection problem of a beam with length ll resting horizontally on an elastic foundation with spring constant kk, while some vertical load is applied to the beam.
