Abstract
This paper aims to study the eigenvalue problems of a mixed local and nonlocal operator in the exterior of a nonempty, bounded, simply connected domain \(\varOmega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^N\) with Lipschitz boundary \(\partial \varOmega \ne \emptyset \). By employing the variational methods combined with the Ljusternik-Schnirelmann principle, we prove the existence of a non-decreasing sequence of eigenvalues. In particular, we prove the principal eigenvalue is simple and isolated. We establish the positivity of the first eigenfunction by obtaining a strong maximum principle. The results obtained here are new even for the case \(p=2\).
期刊介绍:
Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis (FCAA, abbreviated in the World databases as Fract. Calc. Appl. Anal. or FRACT CALC APPL ANAL) is a specialized international journal for theory and applications of an important branch of Mathematical Analysis (Calculus) where differentiations and integrations can be of arbitrary non-integer order. The high standards of its contents are guaranteed by the prominent members of Editorial Board and the expertise of invited external reviewers, and proven by the recently achieved high values of impact factor (JIF) and impact rang (SJR), launching the journal to top places of the ranking lists of Thomson Reuters and Scopus.
