Abstract

We study the resonance set ∑ of pairs (α,β) ∊ ℝ2 for which the problem ∆u + αu+ − βu− = 0 has a nontrivial solution . We show that if λ0, is an eigenvalue of multiplicity two of −Δ, then has measure zero, where are the neighbouring eigenvalues of λ0. Moreover, we have that, if the operator Δ + αIu<0 + βIu < 0 has a kernel of dimension one for(α, β) ∊ ∑ and u ≠ 0 such that Δu + αu+ − βu− = 0, then (α, β) is an isolated point on ∑ ∩ L, where L is the straight line parallel to the diagonal of ℝ+ × ℝ+ through (α, β).
