positone

adjective2

1. •
   of a particular kind of eigenvalue problem involving a nonlinear function on the reals that is continuous, positive, and monotone.

   • Finally, we mention that several papers studied nonlinear eigenvalue problems of the form — 2004
2. •
   for scriptstyle λ>0 under the assumption that scriptstyle f: ℝ→ ℝ is continuous, positive, monotone. For this reason such problems were named positone... If the nonlinearity scriptstyle f: ℝ→ ℝ is continuous, monotone and scriptstyle f(0)<0,...then the eigenvalue problem is called semipositone...
