Abstract

We consider a class of nonlinear elliptic eigenvalue problems, in an arbitrary bounded regular domain in ℝn, with multiple bending points (infinite in some cases). We associate with them a family of perturbed problems; the study of the corresponding singular perturbation enables us to extend the limiting elliptic problem into a free boundary problem. The latter also admits an infinite number of free boundary solutions in some cases of hyperspherical geometries.
