Abstract

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem

where are real parameters, are bounded linear operators between separable real Hilbert spaces, and is a continuous map defined on the unit sphere of . We prove a global persistence result regarding the set of the solutions of this problem. Namely, if the operators and are compact, under suitable assumptions on a solution of the unperturbed problem, we prove that the connected component of containing is either unbounded or meets a triple with . When is the identity and is finite dimensional, the assumptions on mean that is an eigenvector of whose corresponding eigenvalue is simple. Therefore, we extend a previous result obtained by the authors in the finite dimensional setting.

Our work is inspired by a paper of R. Chiappinelli concerning the local persistence property of the unit eigenvectors of perturbed self-adjoint operators in a real Hilbert space.
