Abstract

We prove the existence of a sign-changing eigenfunction at the second minimax level of the eigenvalue problem for the scalar field equation under a slow decay condition on the potential near infinity. The proof involves constructing a set consisting of sign-changing functions that is dual to the second minimax class. We also obtain a nonradial sign-changing eigenfunction at this level when the potential is radial.
