Abstract

Let \(\left( X,\left\| \cdot \right\| _{X}\right) \) and \(\left( Y,\left\| \cdot \right\| _{Y}\right) \) be Banach spaces over \(\mathbb {R},\) with X uniformly convex and compactly embedded into Y. The inverse iteration method is applied to solve the abstract eigenvalue problem \(A(w)=\lambda \left\| w\right\| _{Y}^{p-q}B(w),\) where the maps \(A:X\rightarrow X^{\star }\) and \(B:Y\rightarrow Y^{\star }\) are homogeneous of degrees \(p-1\) and \(q-1,\) respectively.
