Eigenvalues for radially symmetric fully nonlinear singular or degenerate operators

In this paper we present a one dimensional and radial theory for the existence of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for fully nonlinear elliptic (α+1)(α+1)-homogeneous operators, α>−1α>−1. A general theory for the first eigenvalue and eigenfunction exists in the frame of viscosity solutions, but in this particular case a simpler theory can be established, that extends, via degree theory, to obtain the complete set of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions characterized by the number of zeros.
