Before stating <strong>and</strong> proving Rayleigh’s theorem, we collect several well-known<br />

results on this eigenvalue problem. A non-trivial solution of (5) has the following<br />

properties:<br />

The eigenvalue problem (5) has non-trivial solutions precisely for a sequence of λ’s,<br />

Then<br />
