Abstract
A nonlinear eigenvalue problem on an interval is considered. The nonlinearity in the equation is specified by a nonnegative monotonically increasing function, and the boundary conditions nonlinearly depend both on the sought-for functions and on the spectral parameter. The discrete eigenvalues are defined using an additional (local) condition at one end of the interval. This problem describes the propagation of monochromatic (polarized) electromagnetic TM waves in a planar dielectric waveguide filled with a nonlinear medium. The nonlinearity covers a wide range of laws of nonlinear optics corresponding to self-interaction effects. Results on the solvability of the problem and the properties of the eigenvalues are obtained.
