Abstract

In this paper we give some simple estimates of positive and negative eigenvalues for the inhomogeneous membrane boundary problem $$ -\Delta u=\lambda mu,\quad u\,|_{\partial D=0} $$ if $D\subset R^2$ is a simple connected domain and $m$ is a real bounded function (possibly changing the sign).

Keywords: Inhomogeneous membrane problem, estimation of eigenvalues.
