Abstract

In this paper, we study the order of the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues for the string equation with concave densities. In general, the order of the k -th Dirichlet eigenvalue and ( k + 1 ) -th Neumann eigenvalue is indeterminate. But, if the density function ρ is concave on ( 0 , 1 ) , we show that the second Neumann eigenvalue is greater than or equal to the first Dirichlet eigenvalue; the equality holds if and only if ρ is constant.
