Abstract
We consider a nonlinear operator G=A+R in Hilbert space, where A is linear, bounded and self-adjoint, and R is completely continous with ∥R(x)∥=0(∥x∥) for x→0. We establish various conditions under which an eigenvalue λ0 of A ofinfinite multiplicity is a bifurcation point of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem G(x)=λ x. To this end, we first prove the existence of a certain type of approximation procedure the construction of bifurcation solutions in the case of infinite multiplicity. The existence theorems for the problem G(x)=λ x are then obtained by applying this procedure to various situations.
