SOLVABILITY OF A NONLINEAR SECOND ORDER CONJUGATE EIGENVALUE PROBLEM ON A TIME SCALE JOHN M. DAVIS, JOHNNY HENDERSON, K. RAJENDRA PRASAD, AND WILLIAM YIN Received 2 February 2000 We consider the nonlinear second order conjugate eigenvalue problem on a time scale: y (t)+λa(t)f (y(σ (t))) = 0, t ∈ [0, 1], y(0) = 0 = y(σ (1)). Values of the parameter λ (eigenvalues) are determined for which this problem has a positive solution. The methods used here extend recent results by allowing for a broader class of functions for a(t). 1. Introduction In this paper, we are c
