Keywords:
Fučík spectrum; $p$-Laplacian
Summary:
General mathematical theories usually originate from the investigation of particular problems and notions which could not be handled by available tools and methods. The Fučík spectrum and the $p$-Laplacian are typical examples in the field of nonlinear analysis. The systematic study of these notions during the last four decades led to several interesting and surprising results and revealed deep relationship between the linear and the nonlinear structures. This paper does not provide a complete survey. We focus on some pioneering works and present some contributions of the author. From this point of view the list of references is by no means exhaustive.
