Abstract

Abstract The theory of Rayleigh functionals for non‐linear eigenvalue problems T (λ) u = 0 is extended to cases where the functional is defined only on a proper subset. The theory applies to problems which do not satisfy an overdamping condition and yields a minimax characterization of eigenvalues. Applications to damped free vibrations of an elastic body are discussed.
