"Positivity and Principal Eigenvalue Problems with Applications"

Abstract

The talk will stress the methods of positive operators by giving a brief 
survey of the scope of applications of the Krein-Rutman theorem with 
some of its recent variants.

It is worth noticing that the Krein-Rutman theorem (as well as its 
linear or nonlinear variants) extend the well-known Perron-Frobenius 
theorem and is a fundamental tool in the study of positive eigenvalue 
problems with invaluable applications in Mathematical Analysis (e.g., 
Partial Differential Equations, Bifurcation Theory, Optimization, 
Order-preserving Dynamical Systems, Stability Theory).
