## Lyapunov inequalities for partial differential equations at radial higher eigenvalues

Received  August 2011 Revised  November 2011 Published  September 2012

This paper is devoted to the study of $L_{p}$ Lyapunov-type inequalities ($\ 1 \leq p \leq +\infty$) for linear partial differential equations at radial higher eigenvalues. More precisely, we treat the case of Neumann boundary conditions on balls in $\Bbb{R}^{N}$. It is proved that the relation between the quantities $p$ and $N/2$ plays a crucial role to obtain nontrivial and optimal Lyapunov inequalities. By using appropriate minimizing sequences and a detailed analysis about the number and distribution of zeros of radial nontrivial solutions, we show significant qualitative differences according to the studied case is subcritical, supercritical or critical.
