Abstract

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem of a nonlinear partial differential equation under Dirichlet boundary condition in a two-dimensional space. The classical solutions are given for rectangular domains. We give numerical solutions obtained by finite element method for the first eigenvalue and eigenfunctions and we analyze the error in the approximate finite element solutions.
